Whisky Galore

2016 · 98 min

A gentle, good-natured caper full of quirky islanders, sly humour and a warm sense of community defiance.

Overview: The story of the inhabitants of the isolated Scottish island of Todday, in the Outer Hebrides, where gloom sets in as their wartime rationing of whisky runs out. When cargo ship the SS Cabinet Minister runs aground the shrewd islanders run rings around the buffoonish English Home Guard commander Captain Waggett and conspire to hide away cases of the precious amber nectar.
How it feels: Warm, whimsical, light and satirical. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Friendship, rebellion, love, family
Content: Mild language. No violence, gore or sexual content.
