Very finely acted, but <em>'Ginger & Rosa'</em> ends up being something that wouldn't look out of place on <em>'EastEnders'</em>. I'll start with the positives. The cast are terrific. Elle Fanning (Ginger) and Alice Englert (Rosa) are very good together, both impress. Alessandro Nivola gives a strong performance also. Away from them, I really enjoy how it's all filmed visually. The plot, meanwhile, isn't the greatest. It builds up fairly nicely, though unfortunately concludes in more soap opera fashion; just against a deafening backdrop of politics and war. It isn't anything particularly bad, I did enjoy it, but it definitely cheapens events a tad; especially as it feels like the filmmakers are aiming for something more deeper in meaning. I'd still say this is worth a watch, admittedly that's mainly thanks to Fanning & Co.
