powerful and touching

Rating: 9/10 (2 January 2017)

Impressive acting by Daniel Day-Lewis and by the rest of the cast. The film is touching and engaging without any lack in terms of accuracy. The story is strong without any useless or boring exposure and the narration is flawless. Original score is very good.
The story is a tragedy of errors for a "antihero" the main character, Gerry. He is not an ideal and perfect citizen. He is into "free life style" hippie. But out of bad luck he becomes the relief valve for the British police desperate to find some one guilty for a bombing homicide. It is impressive that the film and such a sad story is based on a true story and this makes it even stronger.
I believe movies like this one should be shown in schools as a major pillar for history programs as this kind of events and stories inevitably make the student connect with the theme and automatically trigger the desire to understand the historical time
A true masterpiece.
