Miss Pettigrew Lives For A Day


(PG)

Miss Pettigrew Lives For A Day is a heartfelt comedy from Bharat Nalluri, featuring Frances McDormand as Guinevere Pettigrew, a middle-aged London governess, who finds herself unfairly dismissed from her job.

Struggling to find new employment, Miss Pettigrew finds herself caterpulted into the glamorous world and dizzying social whirl of an American actress and singer, Delysia Lafosse (Amy Adams). She soon becomes Delysia's confidant and personal aide and witnesses all the joys and indiscretions that thrive in this heady, high-society climate.

This is an enchanting movie. But the adaptation is adequate, the storyline interesting, the performances excellent and the atmosphere of a country in the brink of war compelling.
