It doesn't get easier to identify, especially when the film seems flawlessly researched, the characters feel like they stepped right out of that era and onto your screen, and the honesty of their joy and sorrow cuts deep into your humanity. Don't get me wrong. This is gripping stuff. It's gripping because you're watching real life, from a time that we've all lived or heard about. This is cinema as it should be. Sublime acting.

There wasn't any, and they were forgotten since 3/4 of the movie. Or before See more Gareth v @geewah 06/19/2023 A powerful and humane telling of a story that still has relevance today. Staunton as the hero puts in an stunning performance. See more Read all reviews
