Their love turned into something bigger, outlasting the Great War itself.
The Big Picture Before she became an Oscar winner for her work in The Danish Girl, Alicia Vikander starred in the 2014 romance drama Testament of Youth. Based on the best-selling memoir of the same name, Vikander plays Vera Brittain, a young woman who watches her world change as Great Britain joins World War I and as she falls in love with Roland Leighton, played by Kit Harington during the height of Game of Thrones fever.
Too often a love story can fall apart due to a lack of chemistry between the actors; even a lack of believability in the circumstances can have a romance fall flat. In the case of Testament of Youth, Vikander and Harington really sell the attraction between Vera and Roland. Not only does their chemistry hold up, the plot itself works in this young couple’s favor for bringing them together.
Though there is a love story found in it, Testament of Youth is equally a war drama and its impact on a woman’s life. Instead of distancing herself from the war with her studies, Vera immerses herself in the trenches as a nurse. The long hours and grueling work offer her the distraction she needs to keep her from dwelling in fear for her brother, her lover, and her friend as they fight on the front. Throughout the film as she moves closer to the battlefield, Vera brings the audience with her.
