Interesting, but not as a late night watch.

Rating: 6/10 (2 June 2015)

I picked this film up because of its great cast, but knowing it wouldn't treat my favourite subject, nor would it be my favourite type of late night watch. And I was right, since I'm not into politics (and even less into history), I inevitably fount it boring, punctuated by interesting/funny parts -for sure- but still too long and dull. I have to admit it was amazingly well made, played (Daniel Day Lewis AND David Strathairn? Can't ask for more) and shot, plus the music and the costumes were perfectly adapted to the situation. An overall really good film, but only if you enjoy learning about politics and/or history. Still much better than picking up your copybooks to revise your history programme, believe me!
