Review of Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom (2013) by Franan D — 04 Jan 2014

Loved this film. It wasn't too political. Yes of course there is some politics in there but you can't tell the Mandela story without any politics. But this is the story of a great man. It shows you what he was fighting for but also what a gentle man he was.

Idris Elba does a fantastic job playing Mandela. Shut your eyes and you would think it was Mandela speaking and he had his walk off to a tee! My only criticism was that he had the wrong build. If you are like me and enjoy a biopic film, go and see this one!
