UNITED THEY SING.Ā
As their partners embark on another tour in Afghanistan, a group of women form a choir on the military baseā¦ but there are conflicts within. The directorās first film in more than a decade is a drama-comedy in the vein of his greatest success, The Full Monty (1997), which also followed a group of amateurs (strippers, though, not singers). The story was based on actual events (also depicted in the fourth season of the reality series The Choir), but fits it all into a very familiar formula. Still, hard to complain when itās this effective; the film is even moving at times as the women struggle with uncertainty and grief. Kristin Scott Thomas is excellent.
