There are goosebump moments and parts you could have written yourself. But maybe that's why we need these films. They make us feel good, we seem like we're slightly smarter for being able to guess the next step, and they serve as good reminders for how we should be living our lives. They deliver us with the messages and lessons we need or maybe have forgotten about - messages of support, friendship, courage, humour and love! If you need a film to positively and directly remind you of the values you want to be reflecting in your life, go get yourself a ticket to see this film. - Lily Meek Read Lily's full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-military-wives-a-salute-to-the-spouses-of-the-military-and-british-comedy
