1* AcclaimedFlop: It had many glowing reviews, but failed to make back its £10 million budget.
2* AdvertisedExtra: Creator/HayleyAtwell as a war nurse, due to her established star power, naturally. Creator/TaronEgerton's name does not appear at all on some posters for the film, including the one on the main page, yet his character Edward (Vera Brittain's brother) plays a much bigger role than Atwell's character Hope.
3* BillingDisplacement: This being Taron Egerton's very first studio film to be released (if not shot -- the title belongs to ''Film/KingsmanTheSecretService'') for public viewing, the magnitude of his role in the film is severely underplayed in promotional material. In fact, his character Edward has a greater presence than the top-billed Kit Harington's Roland.
4* FakeBrit:
5** Swede Creator/AliciaVikander is the lead character, Englishwoman Vera. Downplayed in that Vikander did move to the UK with her family at the age of 15.
6** A semi example with Creator/ColinMorgan. Though from Northern Ireland, thus a UK citizen, he is playing Englishman Victor, not his native background.
