"Ginger & Rosa" is a beautifully constructed period film, with wonderful acting from the leading girls (Fanning & Englert). It completely surpassed my expectations. However set in very specific thematic conditions (1960's, liberal values vs. tradition, nuclear crisis), this definitely is a character driven film. The plot is kept tight and simple as the characters further develop into their worlds, and perhaps this could prove to be the weakest point for some viewers. For me, its subtle but mature performances and sensitive approach to the girls' coming of age was completely worth watching. The Brit accents by the cast were done fine. ---Solid script and directing as well.
