Review of A United Kingdom (2016) by Facebook U — 20 Feb 2017

Although a bit formulaic at times, this love story with a political twist capably tells a tale of little-known history while never losing sight of the romance that lit the fuse that ignited the flames behind an intense international controversy.

With fine performances by David Oyelowo and Rosamund Pike, a cogently written script, and fine production values, this latest offering from director Amma Assante proves once again that she's one of today's finest up-and-coming filmmakers.

An enjoyable, entertaining and informative film that delights, surprises and inspires on multiple levels.
