Audience Member A Tom Hollander showcase, perhaps his best. But for a spy story it doesn't have much going for it, except that the story is one of incredible East-West impact. Probably this is more real than the more exciting portrayals of spies. This was a BBC television series; so maybe that's why 2-hours' worth of story is inflated to 4. To say this show is slow is to say a turtle is fleet of feet. Glad to know the true story & get a peek behind the scenes in the collegiate wings of the eventual players on the international stage - just wished it hadn't taken so long get it. The History Channel extra material is helpful. One empathizes with the women in this tangled web of Briti'snoot homosexuals, too.

Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member this was pretty dull. not a lot of action. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member A great drama from the BBC. It's not historically accuarate and it's dubious that the four Cambridge lads are portrayed in such a heroic light but the acting, especially from Hollander, is excellent and the whole things feels nicely paced. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Too much of a voyeristical eye and too little of an instimist one. We are subjected to a lot of sex and not enough characterisations, motives and intentions. For communist wannabes. Or not. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting subjec and even quite good actors, but the story is told quite boringly, though it might just be the brittish upper class culture that is amazingly boring. Without my knitwork I would never have stayed awake watching this. Somehow the movie all the time keeps politely distant from the action and from it's characters.
