How I Live Now
Set in the near-future U.K., Saoirse Ronan plays Daisy, an American teenager sent to stay with relatives in the English countryside. Initially withdrawn and alienated, she begins to warm up to her charming surroundings, and strikes up a romance with the handsome Edmund (George MacKay).

As the U.K. falls into a violent, chaotic military state, Daisy finds herself hiding and fighting to survive.

FEATURED REVIEW
Donald Clarke, Irish Times
The latest film from Kevin Macdonald has the look of a teen romance about it. Based on a taut, original novel by Meg Rosoff, How I Live Now follows Daisy, a grumpy American girl, as, after falling out with her parents, she travels to stay with cousins in a remote English farmhouse.
