PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.
Richard Chatten This Republic programmer mainly set in a British aircraft factory has a largely British cast that pitch in gamely and a plot that anticipates the British 'Millions Like Us', released a few months later. The stress on doing your bit to "manufacture those grey hairs for that nasty man in Germany", as well as a couple of sequences sternly stressing the need to observe health and safety regulations to the letter makes it feel like a public information film, sweetened with frequent songs, including a duet between J.Pat O'Malley and Elsa Lanchester which marks one of Elsa's final film appearances in a youthful role before she became typecast as middle-aged (and then elderly) eccentrics.
