Review of Glorious 39 (2009)

By Ursula H (23) on 06 Apr 2010

By Denise F (38) on 02 Apr 2010

Poliakoff explores, once again, the theme of individual isolation within a British upper scale family…

Review of Glorious 39 (2009)

By Juha P (38) on 28 Mar 2010

Beautifully shot in some captivating locations, Glorious 39 is still a limp and fatuous tale with a so-what ending…

By Ricky L (88) on 03 Mar 2010

WOOPS…

Review of Glorious 39 (2009)

By Freddy B (12) on 29 Jan 2010

Beautiful to watch. And with Poliakoff's usual fetishism for extraordinary buildings and beautiful objects it a bit of a treat for the eyes…

Review of Glorious 39 (2009)

By Jean E (35) on 18 Jan 2010

18th January 2010 Beautifully filmed…

Review of Glorious 39 (2009)

Pre-WWII political and social conspiracy are the subject of this historically fascinating but merely gently menacing thriller from the darling…

Review of Glorious 39 (2009)

By Ever D (12) on 08 Jan 2010

Beautifully shot and great performances let down by some muddled plot points towards the end. Still recommend…

Review of Glorious 39 (2009)

By Duncan S (162) on 07 Jan 2010

A wartime mystery and a psychological thriller fail to gel completely in the new film from Stephen Poliakoff…

Review of Glorious 39 (2009)

By Richard H (920) on 06 Jan 2010

Inside Glorious 39, two films are fighting to get out ? a pre-war thriller and a psychological drama about the isolation of adoption…

Review of Glorious 39 (2009)

By Trevor W (293) on 31 Dec 2009

What a shame. Starts out as a superior period drama akin to 39 steps and has elements of North by North West laden through it…

Review of Glorious 39 (2009)

By Adam L (814) on 31 Dec 2009

PROS: Excellent period detail; David Tenant's small but pivotal role; Good amount of suspense in the middle act…

Review of Glorious 39 (2009)

By Jason E (565) on 27 Dec 2009

A thoroughly rivetting drama that leads you down one path at the beginning (you think it's going to be Brideshead Revisted - revisted) but…

Review of Glorious 39 (2009)

By Cath O (133) on 26 Dec 2009

Well acted if slightly ponderous at times, this drama features the period just before WWII and how a family becomes embroiled in the plotting…

Review of Glorious 39 (2009)

By Michael D (2,363) on 07 Dec 2009

I'll shamelessly give this movie an extra star because the lead lady is so easy on the eye. She's like a young Cate Blanchet - lovely…

Review of Glorious 39 (2009)

By Daisy B (14) on 04 Dec 2009

Loved this edge-of-your-seat thriller, brilliantly acted with standout performances from Romola Garai and Bill Nighy. Poliakoff back on form…

Review of Glorious 39 (2009)

By Lorna B (72) on 03 Dec 2009

This was a bit disappointing - & it was not cinematic enough... but was really a good two-part TV drama on the big screen…
