Anyone else seeing this? It's a spy thriller/romance film starring Brad Pitt set in 1942 in Casablanca:

I put it in my netflix queue (almost never go to the the movie theater). The reviews seemed mixed. Did you see it yet - if so, thoughts?

It doesn't come out here until the 23rd. You should go see it - lend some financial support to Golden Era set films.

This looks interesting, I'll be looking out for it in the theatres.

I'm looking forward to this one.

Just saw the trailer on the big screen when I saw Arrival (which is really amazing.) Anxious to see this one.

We couldn't manage to see this in the theatre, but we just bought the blu-ray and boy are we glad we did.

Some minor historical/military complaints aside, it was an excellent film!

Anyone else having seen it on screen, big or small?

It's next up in the Netflix queue (but has a "short wait" note next to it, which in the past, we've found might or might not delay it).

I'll report back after it comes in.

I rented it (still have a movie rental place around here), and loved it.

I saw this movie on a plane yesterday. The sound was wonky, so I rented it today from Red Box and rewatched it with my wife. Love this movie. I'll definitely be adding it to my collection.

The movie got sort of ho-hum reviews. But I'll take your opinions over theirs any day. It sounds like a movie that will be right up my alley. WWII? Period costumes? Action, intrigue, and romance? Sign me up.

 

[AmateisGal]

Saw it a month ago or so. It was pretty good. Keeps you guessing the entire time.

Medicine Hat, Alberta, has never gotten better reviews...

Finally saw this yesterday. Enjoyed it a lot. Great costumes and sets and period feel. London during the blitz interestingly portrayed. It is impossible to say anything about this movie without giving spoilers. Adroit plot twists and it does indeed keep you guessing. Good acting. Mostly, though, I was luxuriating in the hats, clothing, cars, airplanes, and general WWII mood.
