I gave it a very weak 6
We all know the story. This should have been amazing. But it was very weak. It failed to find the real magic. It cut out Gareth. It didn't use the music. Instead it went for awful beret wearing, saluting with the wrong arm and cringing stereotypes.
I was annoyingly disappointed with this. A tiny bit of humour but that was it. I felt nothing. And the climax was woeful.
Watch it on a damp Sunday (or pandemic) but don't expect too much. Sorry.

Amazing and Moving
As a military wife and one who is in the military wives choir I was unsure of how they would actually manage to portray our thoughts feelings etc in to film when they have no idea what our lives are like and I was amazed at how well these cast managed to get our lifestyle on screen! The choir that is formed is exactly like most choirs with such a range of people but that is the whole point.
I laughed, I cried, I sang and I would 100% see this countless times again

Moving story of love and friendship.
Sharon and Kirsten are superb. It's a moving story of friendship under pressure of military life, war and pain, with a lovely musical backing track.
Funny, witty, poignant and for me very emotional.
I definitely would 👌👍

Ok film but a bit formulaic
This is ok. More like a tv drama. Very formulaic and characters are a bit one dimensional. So a bit disappointing but quite entertaining.
A gentle hug of a film
It's a lovely little British film. Beautifully acted, you feel like know the characters because they are some relatable. It's subtle British humour, with a tinge of dark humour. You will cry though so be warned...

- TriviaInspired by the BBC documentary series, "The Choir: Military Wives". The series followed the progress of choirmaster Gareth Malone visiting various military bases around England to form choirs, in order to help bring together the remaining wives and partners of serving military personnel. Malone formed the first choir at RMB Chivenor, and another at the Royal Citadel in Plymouth. The series brought the two choirs together to perform "Wherever You Are", a song created by Welsh composer, Paul Mealor from extracts of letters sent between the military wives and their serving partners. This was performed at the Royal Albert Hall in November 2011 for The Royal British Legion's Festival of Remembrance. Since the series end, more than 75 military wives choirs have been formed, and they are now a registered charity.
