    For educational reasons - watch it!

    If you are studying 'Carries War' by Nina Bawden, at school or college the DVD sticks nicely to the story and the cast portray the characters well. To be honest I wouldn't have watched the film if I hadn't have read the book and probably wouldn't have enjoyed it half as much either.

    However, for 8 - 13 year olds who may be interested in the 2nd world war - especially the children of London being sent to safety in the country this film is perfect. It will give them a good insight and they will surely be able to relate to either Carrie or her younger brother Nick. Pauline Quirke also gives a good performance.

    Another tip - it's not something you would sit down on a Saturday night to watch, you may have to watch it in 2 or 3 parts, otherwise it tends to drag on.

    Carrie's War

    This is a better than average made for TV movie. It starts off as a typical ?kids go to the country during the war? and stay with dour adults film. But the girl who plays Carrie is likeable and sweet even though most of the adults around her seem like caricatures. The story moves along well and despite being predictable in places, there are a few surprises as well.
