Gripping
This movie did not disappoint.
The story kept me at the edge of my seat, the unraveling of the events was gripping and full of suspense. I saw it a week ago but it's still on my mind.
Jeremy Irons, was great and he shined a bright light on the prime minister that was later overshadowed by his successor (fairly, but still it was the first time I got to appreciate Chamberlain's passion).
I had never seen a movie with any of the two main actors starring before, but from now on i will definitely keep my eye on any other work they may do.
The subtle tension between the two lead men that shifts to different notions as the story evolves is very intriguing and i love the fact that words are mostly left unsaid about that relationship between them, but the emotions flow effortlessly from their eyes.
This is a movie i would gladly rewatch. - leyla-86723 - 16 June 2022
the only stars for jeremy irons
I could not go past 20 minutes... it's a bore really.
With this cast and plot, execution could've been better.
Also, empathetic characters suit jeremy irons really well.
The music was inadequate, the drag of some scenes were unnecessary, the female actor playing the wife of georeg mackay's character was not cast well.
