Britain's best - Exile review by JD
Simm, Broadbent and Colman. I have the highest regard for their acting and was looking forward to a work of drama showing off the best of British. I was not disappointed and was moved by some fine performances. The plot is a bit straightforward and the directing is average. I was distinctly underwhelmed by the photography. Maybe they ran out of money having hired the best of our acting talent.
