Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Glorious 39 (2011)

A young British woman, adopted as a baby into the family of a member of Parliament, stumbles onto a plan to make a deal with Hitler to avoid going to war.

There's a real tension to the story as we begin to understand, along with her, that there's real danger here.  But it all seems to be too much.  People are being blackmailed and, when that fails, killed...that I can believe.  But driving someone insane?  And out of love?  It was just too weird.

All of the "whats" were explained by the end but I still had quite a few "what the hells" left unanswered.
