Synopsis: "Testament of Youth is a powerful story of love, war and remembrance, based on the First World War memoir by Vera Brittain, which has become the classic testimony of that war from a woman's point of view. A searing journey from youthful hopes and dreams to the edge of despair and back again, it's a film about young love, the futility of war and how to make sense of the darkest times."---Rottentomatoes.com
Why it looks worth seeing: Two words: Jon Snow!
No but really, the film looks gorgeous and intriguing. Although World War I has been covered in films before, its still a bit of a mystery for a survivor of the American public school system like my self (we barely even discussed the topic in history class). Testament of Youth is based off of Vera Brittain's memoir by the same name so it adds a unique legitimacy to the story.
