Nominated for many awards, after watching this film with my daughter, I will be surprised it if does not win anything. When it comes to looking at a film, a film should be judged on a few things, including how well it tells a story, as well as if that story is new. And I cannot remember many films which reflect how the UK was multicultural during the war.
I trained in Whitechapel and when there, I learned about its long history of immigration. At the time, the immigrant population was mainly Bengali, but earlier, it had been Jews and before that the Huguenots. Set in The East End, the film reflected that. Many have said that the film is too woke because of this, and it may be that the numbers of non-white faces are too many. But I have not seen this issue of the UK reflected in many films. In fact, I feel some of the reviews of the film forget to reflect how the film addresses this.
I would certainly recommend watching this, and I may watch it again.
