Donald Clarke Irish Times 06/13/2015
3/5
It showcases Boorman's great humanity, but (like Hope and Glory, for that matter) it is almost entirely free of the mild derangement that characterises his best work. Go to Full Review
Geoffrey Macnab Independent (UK) 06/11/2015
This is a deeply personal film which also stands as an intriguing record of a period not often revisited in film -- that drab period postwar and pre-Suez in which the country itself, like the flailing young hero Rohan, is struggling to define itself. Go to Full Review
Mark Kermode Observer (UK) 06/07/2015
3/5
Everything you'd expect from distinctive film-maker John Boorman: a heartfelt story told in arresting visual tones through a melange of conflicting accents and strangely theatrical staging. Go to Full Review
Lyric Waiwiri-Smith The Post NZ 09/23/2022
While you may not have any strong thoughts or feelings about the Queen, feeling the intimacy of where the late Monarch spent the private moments of her life is at once peaceful and beautiful... Go to Full Review

2/5
A wild picture with its parts running willy-nilly in every possible direction. Go to Full Review
Alberto Abuín Espinof 04/15/2020
Life and cinema united in the mind of the protagonist, providing really surreal episodes in the barracks, undoubtedly the most interesting of the film. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

isla s 09/04/2022 This is an enjoyable enough film - its not a war film or an especially dramatic film but its got some amusing moments and has a slight feel of Catch 20 about it. Its got some nice characters but its just not the kind of film that stays in my mind for long. An ok film but not much more, I wouldn't expressly recommend it as such, no. See more 03/09/2022 The sibling chemistry is insane. It was bit weird how they communicated with each other, but I liked it lmaooo. They were real life couple after all See more 09/27/2020 It was ok overall, not terribly exciting and with few laughs in this British comedy of boyish pranks in the military See more Solomon M 05/24/2019 This film is the sequel to John Boorman's Hope and Glory where as Billy is a young draftee in the Royal Army during the Korean War and sees his nation changing as The Princess of Wales Elizabeth marries Prince Phillip of Macedonia and Britain loses ground as the Empire begins to diminish. See more 05/22/2018 Such a British film. fun. See more 12/18/2017 Having loved Hope and Glory I was a bit hesitant going into this film. Much to my surprise it was an interesting story with the same mix of laughs and charm balanced with some gut punching all too familiar moments. See more Read all reviews
