Beautifully crafted

Rating: 8/10 (19 June 2020)

A soft focus sheen covers every scene as the ensemble cast play out a deadly game of spy thriller. Subtly told at a pace that is just right for the intrigue to build all centred around the unfazed George Smiley played expertly by Gary Oldman.
This is what great film making can be which lets us escape into a completely different and wholly convincing world that has been purely fabricated. Excellent.
