Kristin Scott Thomas and Sharon Horgan do their best to elevate “Military Wives” from a simple tune to a symphony...

...talented writers Rachel Tunnard and Rosanne Flynn sprinkle their script with small but well-observed details that really hit home:...

...this is its moment. Call it military punctuality.

...a familiar, entertaining hymn to the power of people coming together in adversity.

...there’s a simple yet undeniable pleasure to be had following the wives on their road to success.

...manipulerar våra känslor skickligt...

Equipped with that undeniable British charm, the movie is helped along by its central performances, as not only do Scott Thomas and Hogan impress, but their chemistry -- and initial lack of it -- works incredibly well on screen.
