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.

This queer period drama has good intentions, but the glaring combination of rote material and poor acting is particularly damning.

Rated: 2/5

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

My Policeman stands on the precipice of being something more, something we haven't seen, but it never fully makes the jump.

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.

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.

Rated: B-

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.

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