 Watch Ginger & Rosa Movie In Theather London, 1962. Two teenage girls - GINGER & ROSA - are inseparable. They skip school together, talk about love, religion and politics and dream of lives bigger than their mothers' domesticity. But the growing threat of nuclear war casts a shadow over their lives. Ginger (Elle Fanning) is drawn to poetry and protest, while Rosa (Alice Englert) shows Ginger how to smoke cigarettes, kiss boys and pray. Both rebel against their mothers: Rosa's single mum, Anoushka (Jodhi May), and Ginger's frustrated painter mother, Natalie (Christina Hendricks). Meanwhile, Ginger's pacifist father, Roland (Alessandro Nivola) seems a romantic, bohemian figure to the girls. He encourages Ginger's 'Ban-the-Bomb' activism, while Rosa starts to take a very different interest in him. As Ginger's parents fight and fall apart, Ginger finds emotional sanctuary with a gay couple, both named Mark (Timothy Spall and Oliver Platt), and their American friend, the poet Bella (Annette Bening). Finally, as the Cuban Missile Crisis escalates - and it seems the world itself may come to an end - the lifelong friendship of the two girls is shattered. Ginger clutches at one hope; if she can help save the world from extinction, perhaps she too will survive this moment of personal devastation.

Review For Ginger & Rosa |
Coming from anyone else, Ginger & Rosa would be a sensitive if predictable coming-of-age tale set in the mists of the distant past. But coming from writer-director Sally Potter, it's a major surprise. Rick Groen-Globe and Mail
A near-flawless film, beautifully shot and cut, excitingly performed and deeply felt. Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune
Fanning is nearly perfect as Ginger navigates choppier waters than most teens have to. There is not a false note in her performance; no matter how melodramatic things become, everything about Ginger remains genuine. Bill Goodykoontz-Arizona Republic
Elle Fanning is scary. Scarily good. Steven Rea-Philadelphia Inquirer
In all respects, this is the completely captivating Fanning's picture. Linda Barnard-Toronto Star
What hurt, nuanced terror and exhilaration there is in Sally Potter's beautiful coming-of-age drama Ginger & Rosa. Lisa Kennedy-Denver Post
Fanning heartbreakingly expresses hurt with seemingly with every fiber of her being. Her family implodes as much as the world seems about to during those 13 days in October. Nora Lee Mandel-Film-Forward.com
Fanning brings such a groundedness and authenticity to the film's central role that you stick with her every step of the way. Rob Thomas-Capital Times (Madison, WI)
"Ginger & Rosa" is another one of those films that feels like it's attempting to cover too much, and by doing so, ends up spreading itself rather thin across all of the areas it tries to encompass. Jeff Beck-Examiner.com
Even seemingly ordinary scenes of girlfriends bonding - ironing hair, wearing jeans in the bathtub to shrink them, hitchhiking - are fraught with the sense of the external forces that will divide them. Duane Dudek-Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
The great gift of Ginger & Rosa is Potter's willingness to let her camera observe these gifted young actresses without judgment, and to create the illusion of ordinary life unfolding before your eyes. Sarah Boslaugh-PopMatters
Without turning sentimental or heavy-handed, Potter strikes a nice balance between the more intimate character moments and the broader political context, and Fanning is terrific as the girl caught in the middle. Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com
Ginger's teen angst could have easily become mopey or self-righteous, but Fanning stays true to the heart of her character even as her world is crumbling around her. Mathew DeKinder-St. Louis Post-Dispatch
It's not an easy voyage, but it is memorable thanks to the careful work of the outstanding ensemble cast and the nuanced presence of Fanning as the confused, but creatively gifted Ginger. Katherine Monk-Canada.com
Though Potter's metaphor of global catastrophe mirroring a personal crisis is heavy-handed, a rich cast of characters, which includes Annette Bening and Oliver Platt as doting family friends, provides some balance. Manori Ravindran-National Post
Potter has a rich compositional eye, but she wisely trims the fat from the dialogue, which dances around most of the melodrama until an explosive last act. Joe Williams-St. Louis Post-Dispatch
As played by Elle Fanning, who can be either achingly vulnerable or frighteningly fierce when the role calls for it, Ginger is a fascinatingly mercurial character. Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)-St. Paul Pioneer Press
A tender, impressionistic coming-of-age tale set against the backdrop of the Cold War in Great Britain, Ginger & Rosa is a colored pencil sketch of a movie distinguished by its acting. Brent Simon-Shockya.com
The details and performances make this overly nostalgic and melodramatic coming-of-age picture watchable Roger Moore-Movie Nation
Fanning sparks complex coming-of-age story Robert Denerstein-Movie Habit
