How I Live Now (2013) 720p w/Eng softsubs | Saoirse Ronan

Adventure | Drama | War | UK | 101min Cast: Saoirse Ronan, Tom Holland, George MacKay, Harley Bird, Danny McEvoy, Anna Chacellor An American girl, sent to the English countryside to stay with relatives, finds love and purpose while fighting for her survival as war envelops the world around her. Daisy (Saoirse Ronan), an American teenager, flies into London's Heathrow, where heavily armed soldiers patrol and TV monitors report a bombing in Paris. Daisy, an obviously bitter girl after quarrelling with her father and stepmother, has come to stay with her English cousins in the countryside, but at first she expresses her unhappiness by a cold veneer of disdain. Gradually she begins to warm to her cousins, precocious Isaac (Tom Holland), handsome Edmond, (George MacKay), cheeky Piper (Harley Bird), and their friend Joe (Danny McEvoy); her aunt (Anna Chancellor), busy with meetings in Geneva, is barely glimpsed. And then the unimaginable happens. In the film's early scenes, anti-social Daisy rebuffs her friendly Brit relatives, and the jittery hand-held camera mirrors her edginess. But as disaster strikes Daisy, and the film's visual style, undergo a dramatic transformation, and the film quickly develops into a terrifying rite of passage in a dangerous world. Saoirse Ronan is quite wonderful in the leading role. Filmed in Wales.
