Keith B B @Okbullard Nov 26 It was a good film with decent acting and storyline and I really liked that it was based on true events. It's worth the watch.

See more Georgan G @RT98616417 07/21/2023 What a movie! Beautiful cinematography and great acting (especially Oyelowo). What this inspirational true story says about materialism and racism is sad. However, standing together, this couple overcomes it all! See more Andrea C @Charst 02/21/2023 Storia vera di coraggio e di perseveranza che ha tutti gli elementi per creare un buon film; e che viene giustamente messa in risalto dalla presenza di due grandi attori come protagonisti. La sceneggiatura racconta in modo chiaro e senza grandi raggiri la vera sequenza degli eventi; senza romanzare eccessivamente seppure non si riesca ad entrare veramente nel cuore dello spettatore; sembra sempre presente un sottile strato trasparente che impedisce di emozionarsi come sarebbe lecito attendersi visti i contorni della storia. Non ottimale la fotografia, soprattutto nelle sequenze girate in Inghilterra; in cui viene data una patina lucente ai personaggi che fa invecchiare molto le riprese.

Rosamund Pike gives a particularly powerful performance as Ruth Williams (someone clearly very much in love and keen to defend her marriage and speak out when needed) while David Oyelowo does well as her partner, Seretse Khama. Its nice to see that people were fighting against such prejudice back when this film was set, which I believe to be the late 1940s. Apart from the obvious racial issue/theme, it also covers thematic ground including that of power and authority, corruption and deception. I thought this was a good film overall.
