Audience Score

A beautifully crafted story of forbidden love and changing social conventions, My Policeman follows three young people -- policeman Tom (Harry Styles), teacher Marion (Emma Corrin), and museum curator Patrick (David Dawson) -- as they embark on an emotional journey in 1950s Britain. Flashing forward to the 1990s, Tom (Linus Roache), Marion (Gina McKee), and Patrick (Rupert Everett) are still reeling with longing and regret, but now they have one last chance to repair the damage of the past. Based on the book by Bethan Roberts, director Michael Grandage carves a visually transporting, heart-stopping portrait of three people caught up in the shifting tides of history, liberty, and forgiveness.

Critics Consensus

Mildly arresting in its best moments, My Policeman tends toward the tedious despite the respectable efforts of a capable cast.

Great provocative movie. Was very impressed with the actors and Styles really showed his true abilities in this one. Just be forewarned about the graphic sex scenes.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

The movie was fairly predictable and didn’t offer much to the audience except for the cast (the cast was incredible)

It’s Styles over substance.

Stephen Romei

The Australian

It is acutely scripted, sensitively directed and finely acted, including by the pop star-turned actor Harry Styles, who is the policeman of the title.

Rated: 3.5/5

Caroline Siede

Fox 10 Phoenix

As a gentle period romance, the film mostly works, particularly whenever Dawson’s mesmerizing performance is front and center. As a launching pad for Styles’ acting career, however, "My Policeman" fails to get off the ground.

Rated: B-

The overall presentation may be uneven and it won’t be a film that many people will remember or revisit in a few years time. However, I found myself captivated by the tale and that is all I ask with a story like this.

Tilt Magazine

Michael Grandage’s gay romance is a heartbreaking delight, even though it won’t win Harry Styles an Oscar.

Mini Anthikad-Chhibber

The Hindu

Despite impeccable credentials, good looking leads, spot-on period details and heart-wrenching love stories, Michael Grandage’s adaptation of a celebrated novel is an inexplicable slog.
