Film Reviews by GP

Really engaging and interesting film but, thinking back through it, I don't think I've ever seen a film which raises and simply glosses over so many important issues. What spoilt the film was the small white subtitles on white background. This occurred throughout the film but , most annoyingly, at two really important points, that meant we had to rewind and stand next to the TV in order to read them. Come on film subtitle people, we want to watch world cinema, but make it more accessible to non native speaking audiences please.

Obnoxious young man becomes an obnoxious, senile old man. Purely observational with the history provided giving us no explanations for either. Not sure why the film was made

Appeared to be an american take, budget film, on a a very British subject and only scratches at the surface of the story. Shots of London during the second world war are not convincing (the same american style cars in every shot). The storyline is very shallow and not very gripping and you don't really get to care about the characters. A lot

Overall it was disappointing and, if as it says is based on a true story, then really doesn't do justice to these great women.

There's no excuse for using small white subtitles. Much of the film was filmed against light/white backgrounds making it very difficult to read them. Foreign language films need to be made accessible with good subtitling and there was no effort made to do this with this film. It ruined the experience for me.

Might have been based on an interesting story but this film is so full of cliches it was painful to watch.

Interesting film based on Fingersmith by Jeanette Winterton. Beautiful photography.

I just wish film would put their white subtitles on a black background. Very difficult to see at times against a light background in the film, and there are a lot of those.

Bad visual effects, cartoon type look to scenes at times, main character mumbling throughout, story line simplistic and uninteresting. Surprising.
