A Searchlight/Lionsgate Picture, Written by Armando Iannucci, Simon Blackwell, Directed by Armando Iannucci.

Based on one of the most loved stories of all time, with one of the most acclaimed comedy writer/directors of our time, and with a who’s who of acting talent, this should’ve been an absolute home run, and while I did enjoy parts, the film really didn’t work for me.

While I think the cast are absolutely brilliant, with Dev Patel, Peter Capaldi, Morfydd Clark and Ben Whishaw in particular standing out.

However, for me the way the story is told just didn’t connect for me and especially the first half of the film really dragged for me.

Everyone involved is incredibly talented and the film has mostly received good reviews, but for me personally this just didn’t work.

Rating = 2.5/5
