Quite interesting to see the workings of a 1920s London film studio. The film shows how the illusions of filmmaking conceal irony and hidden truths.

An epic docudrama about Winston Churchill. The battle scenes appear spectacular. Voice-overs seem distracting. The director should show those scenes instead of telling them.

An entertaining thriller with an ill-contrived story. I cannot believe that coincident, in which Harper and the girl survived at the last moment when the bad guy opened the door of the giant pool.
