It's always going to be tricky to cut down a 300-page novel into a one-and-a-half hour film, so I might have watched Resistance with overly high hopes.
Owen Sheers' story is based around the assumption that D-Day has failed and that by October 1944 the German army has invaded the UK and forced its way into southern and western England.
In a remote valley in rural Herefordshire (and should that be Monmouthshire?) 26-year-old Sarah Lewis wakes up one morning to discover her husband and all the men from her village have vanished. The women they have left behind do not know where they have gone, but the assumption is they have taken to the hills to join the resistance movement.
