Review of Queen & Country (2015) by Kevin W — 21 May 2015

Nothing hilarious in this story about weak and shallow boy who accomplishes nothing because he believes in nothing. Is that Britain of the 1950s? Hope and Glory dealt with a time of tremendous hardships.

This movie deals with the opposite: whimpering boy protagonists who crumple under the slightest strain. The only strong people in the story are the women. Perhaps that is Boorman's view of post WWII Britain.

There isn't a man on the throne anymore and likewise not a man to be found elsewhere.
