About this listen

In this episode of Rosie the Reviewer, we discuss For the Moment (1993), written and directed by Aaron Kim Johnston. Set in rural Manitoba in 1942, the film follows a group of Canadian women and young Commonwealth airmen brought together by the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. Though fictional, the story draws heavily on the real experiences of Johnston’s parents and captures the temporary, emotionally charged connections formed far from the war's front lines.

We talk about early-career Russell Crowe, understated performances, and why this quiet, character-driven film feels refreshingly honest about wartime romance, loss, and choices that do not come with neat endings.
