Peter Bradshaw Guardian This is a tough, valuable, forthright film about one of the nastiest, ugliest moments in postwar British history. Rated: 4/5 Jun 17, 2024 Full Review Amber Wilkinson Eye for Film Gordon takes his time. The pace is measured and the score from Tim Atack avoids any bombastic ramping of the mood. It’s not needed since the miners’ testimony is perfectly able to convey the terror of that day and the trauma of the strike more widely. Rated: 4.5/5 Jun 18, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
