Guinevere Pettigrew had a tough job as a governess in London in the late 1930s. Perhaps it's her unattractive appearance, perhaps it's her rather stern and awkward character, but no one hires her and nothing goes right. When she steals the address of a client and accidentally becomes the social secretary of a dynamic American actress on the rise, she lets this little ray of happiness carry her through an increasingly adventurous and crazy day.You can watch your favorite cloudy
The heart and soul come from a conversation
The film, based on Winifred Watson's 1938 novel, is a comedy, with the heart and soul coming from the interactions and dialogue. The plot is based on the characters and each has the vitality that so often appears on stage. The superb Frances McDormand heads a talented cast and allows no one to outshine her, although Miss Pettigrew is one of those likable, invisible characters who easily remain in the shadows of the story. I love the look on her face. It's subtle but very expressive, so we always know what she's thinking, and the energy she radiates - even as a tired, exhausted character - makes everything ...
... fresh and clear without complication.

If you don't have a name, you will recognize it
Amy Adams is a terrific goofball as Deliciana - something she's rarely done lately, but does extremely well. But the role of Delysia suits her particularly well because, like the other main character, she dives into the stupid. Delicia is a girl with a worldview, and that worldview has taught her to create classic, empty beauty. Amy finds the right balance. Her friend Edith is played by Shirley Henderson, whose face, if not name, you will certainly recognize.
The nightclub where she sings and the apartment
She's a terrific villain, with the incredible confidence of a stylist and the slight sadness of a woman who is so mired in her evil that she has lost all hope of being happy and lives only to make others as miserable as herself. Delicia is a charming and vivacious young woman who has three suitors to choose from. The first is Mark Strong as Nick. Nick owns the nightclub where she sings and the apartment where she lives. He's rich, but he's a crook. Mark Strong, of course, is great because he's always great, and in short, he makes Nick exactly the stereotype you'd expect. The other suitor is Phil, played by Tom Paine. A handsome young man who talks like a perfect 1930s British pilot.
Male characters can stick to classical stereotypes
He is very reminiscent of Edmund Sparkler from Little Dorrit. His father runs the theatre for which Delicia competes. Mostly sympathetic, but not a character to feel sympathy for. That honor falls to the third man, Michael, played by Lee Pace (of course). Michael is the pianist who accompanies Delysia to Nick's nightclub; he's almost penniless, but he loves Delysia enough to tolerate her optimistic attitude. Neither of the male characters can live up to the classic stereotypes, so Michael is the man of honor who looks at her with sadness and longing until passion and devotion finally get the better of him.
The man he is looking for is the one who has paid
And even if there's no deeper subversion of the character, it's at least perfect casting, because no one can play a melancholy, passionate romantic like Lee Pace. His charm and sad expressions give the character everything he needs. Otherwise, the men are secondary. This is a story about two women and it can't be Miss Pettigrew if Delicia has to choose between three men and none! The man she is looking for is Joe played by Ciaran Hinds. He's a rich man who dominates the fashion world but hasn't been eaten alive yet, and he's kind, honest, and a gentleman.

The film manages to entertain as well as inform
For some strange reason, he is engaged to Edith, which creates great drama for Miss Pettigrew. It doesn't take long to figure out where this is all going, but the fun part is how it gets there. Despite compelling characters and an equally compelling plot, it would have been a greater achievement if the film captivated rather than enthralled.
If you have no reason to stay you may get bored
The fashion of the late 1930s is gorgeous, and the atmosphere of that era is present and pervasive from the screen. If I had to quibble, I'd say nothing in this story is particularly daring or extreme, and if you have no reason to stay, you might get bored.

It's a story about entertainment

The actors, their characters, and the inherent charm that permeates everything are the best reasons to stay, but nothing stands out from a filmmaking standpoint from an artistic standpoint. However, since this is a story meant to entertain, and it does, those who go to be entertained and amused are sure to have a life-changing day at Miss Pettigrew's.
