Good Story Somewhat Diverted by Last-Minute Gay PR Pitch

Rating: 7/10 (21 July 2015)

Captivating story, accurate or not. WWII London always a poignant setting. Main character was fascinating and endearing. Character development is skillful, for the most part. Cinematography very good. Good casting. Like any good movie, it allows the viewer to forget the actors are acting and simply enjoying being told a good story. The historical parts are enriching. The production seems to underestimate its audience, with its overt messaging at the end. I would have liked to enjoy the crux of the story, without being taken to "Sunday school" about the evils of being mean to (gay) people. I think most of the audience already believes that. Gratuitous last-minute PR pitch distracts somewhat from the experience.
