I went to see Their Finest today. I dunno if it’s even made it to America, but it’s a really good film about women’s contribution to British wartime cinema, if that sort of thing is your bag.

It is also notable for two other things! One, it has a chain-smoking men’s-clothes-wearing lesbian character (her sexuality isn’t involved in the plot but made very clear) who does not die despite the film being largely about death, and second (under a cut for spoilers)

the main male character dies to further the main female character’s development, which is a nice change of pace
