Do them credit they could appreciate that the film shows what our own soldiers, nurses and their families and friends experienced in the carnage of WWI, which many young people are commemorating solemnly today, in the moving, annual ceremonies that we see them attending in large numbers, around the world. This is the kind of film that all young people should see. Vera's speech against the cycle of killing and revenge is powerful. We feel acutely the suffering of the wounded and dying and those who weep for them. Vikander plays Vera with a pleasing neutrality, that throws the action and the characters of the story up into relief. Once again, the wonderful Emily Watson, in the role of the mother, provides key turning points in the story, within just seconds of footage. The acting, direction and editing are uniformly very good. These are well judged, without resorting to gratuitous violence or gore for entertainment's sake. Then, the scenes of battlefields and field hospitals are graphic and bloody. The quality of the production is first-class, with detailed interiors, street scenes and costumes. This is a perfectly made account of World War I, seen through the eyes of a beautiful, intelligent and educated young, middle class woman, Vera Brittain, who wrote a best-selling book about her experiences. Can I be anymore genuine about her utterly genuine turn? In fact, this may be my favorite performance of hers.

And as much as I want to commend Harrington, Taron Egerton, Dominic West (who ironically also plays her father in Tomb Raider), Colin Morgan, Hayley Atwell, and Emily Watson, no one comes close to Vikander's performance here.

In fact, she's quickly becoming one of my favorite actresses to watch, merely for the sheer charisma she brings with every role. Whether it be as the tomb raiding Lara Croft, the grieving Isabel Graysmark, or the curious Ava, she is brilliant in anything she does. The latter is famous for his turn in that one certain HBO show while Vikander hadn't really done anything of notoriety before this, and she is absolutely the best part about this film.
For Testament of Youth, this was Alicia Vikander and Kit Harrington's coming out party, at least in the film world. But they proved to each impress in a similar way. Obviously, the two are very differently told films. It's not an overly similar movie, but as I've recently watched Atonement, Testament of Youth gave me that same sort of touchingly effective drama with a backdrop of a world war.
