Review of Amazing Grace (2007) by Steve&Amp;Bettys. — 19 Mar 2007

Well done! The dark side and light side of this movie could have both been overdone, but they weren't. We were thoroughly engrossed by it. Ioan Gruffudd was up to the task of carrying the load of the story.

The society of the time was an essential character, and the filmmakers handled its complexities well. My one quibble is with Romola Garai: while she was good, she was a little too precious about it, and you could see her acting (as opposed to seeing Mrs.

Wilberforce).
