Roy T Absolutely superb! Thank you Amazon Prime Video for bringing this to us. At a time when people almost cannot remember, let alone believe that, that politicians once acted on behalf of principles and those they governed, this is just so refreshing. It is a 100% accurate. I lived through it. But it also captures a mood. It felt so good at the time to be British again. This film captures that. All the actors are excellent. There are simply no poor actors here. I hope more people see this. It will cheer you up. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/23/24 Full Review Dave C A sombre and sobering script to support the serious and occasionally incisive performances of the cast who bring it to life. The film plays as a docudrama, which is compounded by its camerawork and editing (whether intentional or not). It very much feels like a nod to the original scriptwriter who pushed for a drama of events in 1987, but was refused by the BBC, and it is impactful as a result Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/19/24 Full Review Read all reviews
