It's an intimate film that moves at the deliberate, careful pace of an excavation and, in so doing, uncovers a few gems along the way.

"The Dig" is not a film for armchair archaeologists. It is more of a diversion for viewers looking for handsomely mounted period British melodrama.

"The Dig" is about the yearning, so human and, yes, so elusive and so futile, to fix the past so that it can be preserved.
January 14, 2021 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review… -
Delivers strong performances - from Ralph Fiennes and Carey Mulligan in particular - and top-level craft, but with an undercurrent of real emotion which sensitively conveys the fragility of lives and time.

It rather poetically places the turbulence of the then-present conflict within the perspective of the millennia of human experience that have come before.
