The Monuments Men

“*The Monuments Men* adopts a surprisingly jaunty, old-fashioned tone that favors camaraderie and intellectual passion over the typical grit of a WWII battlefield. While the film’s episodic structure occasionally struggles to balance its ensemble cast, the veteran charisma of George Clooney and Bill Murray makes for a charming, low-stakes tribute to the preservation of culture. It is a perfect pick for history buffs and fans of lighthearted, character-driven period dramas who prefer a focus on human heritage over heavy combat.”
