Review of A United Kingdom (2016) by Lucy M — 23 Mar 2017
This is a surprisingly enjoyable movie. I went to see it because I like the two leads (who were both in the cast of Jack Reacher) and because I'm an avid reader of Alexander McCall Smith's books set in Botswana.
The love story, interestingly enough, is not the centerpiece of the movie - the politics of the time is. The love story is good and it is Oyelowo who make you feel the connection of the two most strongly; the scene between the two of them while he has been exiled in England is heartbreaking.
All in all a very well-done movie I think most people would enjoy.
