Coherent story with a redemptive last act but the movie is all to novel-adaption-like. To stiff in a way and in need of its own expression

...it’s the tone that sets this apart from more traditional, ever-so-slightly-fusty inter-War dramas.

The generous, sharp performances, especially Garai's, deepen the story's emotional impact, as does Wright's assured, frequently astounding direction.

...en særlig og stærkt anbefalelsesværdig oplevelse, som fortjener og kræver ens ypperste opmærksomhed. Episk og alligevel nærværende. Flamboyant og alligevel intelligent.
