When I saw the ratings, I thought I was in for a bad film but I took a chance anyway.
It's not brilliant, but it's a good little flick.
Simple, but somewhat thoughtful and timely in a world where the manipulation of truth to influence people's actions has become an interesting & relevant conversation.
Based on some historic realities, it spins a tale that about the truth, remembrance, and the ugly sides of war.
The performances are reasonably solid though - again- not earth moving or award winning. Felton holds his own. Harriet Walter is strong. And Barry Ward shows some real charisma in an ancillary role.
It would seem the reviews were a tad harsh, imo.
