Not what I expected but an excellent true story of one man's long struggle to end the slave trade in England. The acting is very good and the director gives viewers a small taste of the horrors of slavery without being too graphic. Not recommended for young kids and even tweens without parental presence; some scenes are very depressing. Highly recommended viewing, especially in light of recent world events in Darfur and similar locations. There still exist people who need help to survive.

This is one of the rare romantic comedies in which intelligence is what attracts people to each other. It also has one of the all-round best casts in a film since BRIGHT YOUNG THINGS and a lesser-known American comedy called THE BAXTER, both of which should have won whatever prize casting directors get.

It is rarely emphasized that almost 150 years before French Revolution in Paris, there was a revolution in England. I always thought (wrongly) that Charles I was executed for his catholic beliefs but this film has clarified that issue much better for me. In 1640s England has an absolute ruler, citizens were king's subjects with limited liberty and personal rights, power was corrupt. Britain was politically divided and most felt that the only way to bring the change for the country was by raising civil war. Reformist win the revolution and before long, Oliver Cromwell assumes power as a Protector of Land. His close friend Lord Fairfax suddently realizes that Cromwell is more interested in gaining power that bringing reforms and laws in place. Lord Fairfax's wife Anne is devout to King and her quiet ... Read More

I was absolutely compelled to write this review. Nothing could be further from a family film than perhaps porn or some gratuitous gore. This film contains truly shocking sexual subject matter that I cannot imagine any parent would want their child to see. It is unpleasant almost from the beginning and we certainly could not bear to watch it through.
