Winston Churchill said to all the survivors of the horrible war

It was May 8, 1945, and throngs of British men a royal night out review and women were celebrating VE Day. The energy and emotion of that moment reaches Buckingham Palace, where the two princesses are restless and eager to go out into the streets to experience this magical night.

Winston Churchill said to all the survivors of the horrible war: "We can allow ourselves a short period of joy."

King George (Rupert Everett) is busy preparing a speech on the radio, and Elizabeth (Sarah Gadon) and her sister Margaret (Bel Powley) plan to convince her father to stay the night. I promise to report on how the crowd will receive his speech. The queen (Emily Watson) objects to this offbeat excursion, but she agrees after finding an army chaperone to escort her daughters.

Soon, they realized they were in the conga line at the Ritz, and it's okay to leave their escorts or walk away from each other, and Elizabeth's traffic as Margaret arrives at a noisy, illegal playing field where someone slides . her, and she spends her life in a naive way with thugs and "working girls". Elizabeth was rescued by a working-class aviator named Jack who went AWOL at a late-night banquet in search of her feckless grinning brother (played with magnetic brio by Star In Progress Jack Reynor). He also plays Malcolm of Fate (the heir to the throne in Macbeth this week).

The film briskly moves through a variety of escapes, from the Ritz to Trafalgar Square, the Carson Club in Mayfair, the Kray twins hoping to show up at any moment, and the romantic interlude watching fireworks from the top of the town. Thames river boat. From the chime of Big Ben to the Parliamentary Klieg light, Julian Gerold (Kinky Boots) is raving about the excitement of post-Blitz London, not to mention the brave and resilient faces of Britons of all ages. And completely caught up in the patriotic splendor, celebrating the courage they fought against the Germans to win back for king and nation. Everything is enhanced by the refined cinematic beauty of Christoph Vocalne (Coco Chanel) and the glorious big band jazz of the time. Glenn Miller, who?

Royal Night Out is a very engaging, textured, and well-intentioned film, mainly thanks to three leads. Canadian actress Sarah Gadon creates a kind, wise and dignified Princess Elizabeth, revealing some of her personality qualities that will later become famous as Britain's next monarch. She of a teenager. At the end of her incredible adventure, Her Highness discovers more about her on her subject than they had ever learned behind the majestic castle walls.

But it's the script that raises the credibility eyebrows, especially in the ridiculous final scene. (Breakfast at Buckingham Palace. Jack demanded that George VI spend seven pounds to get Elizabeth home safely in the rain law order special victims unit review. I don't think so.) Jack lived through the war, suffered and hated the British class system. The rudeness and disrespect when he discovers Elizabeth's identity is completely unconvincing. So is the happy ending, when the next queen of England takes him back to the military base and convinces him to rejoin the Royal Air Force.

I didn't say it was perfect, but the joys I can find here are so great that I never leave the Royal Night Out because I feel like I wasted my time. Fill the 97 minutes well and save a few smiles.
