A United Kingdom (2016)
Directed by Amma
Asante this film based on real events stars David Oyelowo and
Rosamund Pike. In the late 1940s the heir to an African throne
marries a white British woman which pisses off everyone.
Straying a bit from
history to condense the story down into two hours this film is a
little too gentle and self congratulatory for my taste. A decent
watch that is fairly well paced unfortunately fails to challenge the
viewer in anyway. Lacking any flaws in the main characters is the
biggest weakness of this film but it is not the worst film you will
ever see.
3/5
