American teenager Daisy (Saoirse Ronan) is sent by her estranged father away from New York City to the countryside of England to stay with her Aunt Penn (Anna Chancellor). Her distant cousin Isaac (Tom Holland) welcomes her at the airport and drives her home. She is introduced to her cousins, seventeen-year-old Eddie (George MacKay) and young Piper (Harley Bird) and to their friend Joe (Danny McEvoy). However, Daisy is a resentful, needy of love, and aloof girl who believes that she is cursed and that bad things happen wherever she goes since her mother died giving birth to her. Aunt Penn is a busy woman who is studying the war scenario in England, which is on alert due to an imminent terrorist attack, and needs to fly to Geneva. However, the next morning, a nuclear bomb explodes in London and the authorities of the United Kingdom declare a state of siege. Meanwhile, Daisy and Eddie fall in love with each other, but they are separated by the military, which sends girls to one camp and men to another. Daisy and Eddie promise to meet each other again. In a country at war, Daisy and Piper flee their lodging and cross England under martial law, trying to find Eddie and Isaac.
Leave your thoughts about How I Live Now.
| Rip It UpDavid 'Mad Dog' BradleyThis latest from director Kevin Macdonald (of pics like The Last King Of Scotland and State Of Play) is drawn from a 'young adult' novel by Meg Rosoff but, surprisingly, proves rather more adult than expected. |
| TheMovieReport.comMichael DequinaRonan's spectacular star turn makes the pro forma young adult love story plotting intimately, painfully real. |
| Toronto StarBruce DemaraHow I Live Now centres on what happens to a group of young people when civilization begins to crumble. But it's also a poignant love story, a compelling, against-all-odds one at that. |
| Sci-Fi Movie PageJames O'EhleyOne hell of a downer - you'd want to slit your wrists! |
| Philadelphia InquirerSteven ReaHow I Live Now takes some frightening, gruesome turns. In tone and terror, it comes close to matching the jumpy dread of Danny Boyle's British Isles virus thriller "28 Days Later." |
| AV ClubA.A. DowdRonan acquits herself nicely. Believable as both a smitten leading lady and a resourceful action heroine, she’s the ideal young-adult starlet — though after this and "The Host," maybe it’s time the actress lent her piercing baby blues to a plain old adult project again. |
| Detroit NewsTom Long"How I Live Now" is uncomfortably easy to believe. |
| New York Magazine/VultureBilge EbiriThere's a lot left unsaid in How I Live Now - but it's unsaid with unusual force. |
| We Got This CoveredKristal CooperThis dystopian coming-of-age tale is an exciting--and occasionally brutal--depiction of war, familial connection and the harsh realities of growing up too soon. |
| New York PostKyle SmithJust because virtually any story can be told through the eyes of a solipsistic teen girl doesn't mean that it should be. |
