I love historic drama. This decision just got harder...but...is there a 3rd and final film you could recommend? I admire the amazing portrayals by Royal Shakespeare Company-trained actors like Ian McKellen and Judi Dench.

Roger Ebert gave it a thumbs up, but only a 2.5 out of 4 stars. In his review, he said, "...it quickly becomes apparent that this is one of those stories where nothing is quite as it seems...leading to a shocking revelation that most will see coming. That sounds predictable, doesn't it?

Yup. Good work. I'll skip "The Good Liar". Instead, I'll go for truth, the truth of Mr. Rogers' story brought to film. Thanks very much.
