Testament of Youth (2015)
Directed by James Kent
Testament of Youth is a powerful story of love, war and remembrance, based on the First World War memoir by Vera Brittain, which has become the classic testimony of that war from a woman’s point of view. A searing journey from youthful hopes and dreams to the edge of despair and back again, it’s a film about young love, the futility of war and how to make sense of the darkest times.

What critics compared Testament of Youth to
Egerton has real range: he is unrecognizable here compared to his working-class spy in Kingsman: The Secret Service , and neither character looks anything like his soft WWI-era intellectual turned soldier in Testament of Youth .
But in 1987, the year before the Winter Games in Calgary, Canada, the British Olympic Association Committee doesn’t want anything to do with the awkward Eddie (Egerton, of “Testament of Youth” ) and bans him from joining the team.
