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.

This queer period drama has good intentions, but the glaring combination of rote material and poor acting is particularly damning. Go to Full Review Hanna Flint Time Out 11/16/2022

3.5/5
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. Go to Full Review Louis Skye (Ronita Roy Mohan) Women Write About Comics Aug 20
Aside from the overlong first half, this film was incredibly moving and felt very authentic to queer people’s experiences... they were able to create a film that was deeply affecting, especially the final scenes, which had most of the audience in tears.

My Policeman stands on the precipice of being something more, something we haven't seen, but it never fully makes the jump. Go to Full Review Alex Valencia Q+ Magazine 07/10/2024
It is perhaps the tender and delicate approach to the main romance that makes this film worth seeing (or streaming). Forbidden love stories always have something that manages to push your heartstrings to the limit, and My Policeman is no different. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Joy 11/23/2024 One of the best movies Ive seen. The heartbreak the love. I could watch this movie over and over (and I have). See more styles best film yet 11/05/2022 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. See more Margaret 11/04/2022 The movie was fairly predictable and didn’t offer much to the audience except for the cast (the cast was incredible) See more Michael Keegan 11/03/2022 Well done, i bit slow at times, but a very good gay love stories.
