      Audience Member It came on TMC very late at night 2am. The script wasn't historically accurate but I liked it. Wells and Mature made good enemies. I only saw the first 35 minutes; I am hopeful about seeing this movie at a reasonable hour Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
