Ethan T The Special Relationship masterfully achieves what all political biopics should without the bells and whistles of superior, larger-scale films. Michael Sheen as Blair does superbly well and and every single role is extremely believable. McCrory is also very good, and Quaid too. Admittedly, A Special Relationship clearly stretches the truth in some ends and it is a bit difficult to see certain conversations passing the way represented in the film. Despite this, a fairly humdrum premise is turned up to 11 by good casting and attention to detail in scripting and performances. Quaid's Clinton won't be to everyone's tastes and certainly doesn't cover the real man in glory, but particularly Sheen really could do with a bit more praise in some circles. The feeling of reality rooted in the film originates from a fairly balanced view of characters and their roles in events, despite perhaps leaning towards portraying Blair more positively than anyone. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/22/21 Full Review steve d Extremely well mad biopic with fantastic performances. Truthful, and sad given what came next. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Unintentional humor at a pleasantly appropriate outer rate and requesting little further credibility without routinely disrupting the crafted flow aside, this essential political drama unveils the titular apparently complicated association in an arresting light from thought-provoking depth to the peaked performances of the main pairs' chemistries. (B+) (Full review TBD) Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Titularly a term first used by Winston Churchill to refer to the close British-American alliances, this bro-mance chronicles most intriguingly the strategic and conditional political friendship of Bill Clinton and Tony Blair between the years of 1997 and 2001 with mentions of their heated disagreement over the Kosovo War and a scandal involving an intern with a stained dress. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellent movie and acting starring Michael Sheen as Tony Blair and Dennis Quaid as Bill Clinton focusing on the special relationship between Prime Minister and President cementing the strength between Britain and United States Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Great Movie... Although watching this film may me realize why Bill Clinton didn't go off to stop the NATO from bombing when Tony Blair was trying to get him into stopping this situation.
