While you may not have any strong thoughts or feelings about the Queen, feeling the intimacy of where the late Monarch spent the private moments of her life is at once peaceful and beautiful...

A wild picture with its parts running willy-nilly in every possible direction.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 1, 2021

Life and cinema united in the mind of the protagonist, providing really surreal episodes in the barracks, undoubtedly the most interesting of the film. [Full Review in Spanish]

Though one doesn't have to experience Hope and Glory to appreciate Queen and Country, it does lend a bit of weight to the narrative continuation if you are familiar.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 19, 2019

After two long hours the film comes to its conclusion... not with a bang but a whimper.

In the end, you may even like Queen and Country more than Hope and Glory, which is saying a lot.

| Aug 28, 2018

The pleasures of Queen and Country lie in its beauty, its performances, its privileging of personal perspectives and its gentle look at a period in British history which is seldom portrayed.

The best comedies made by England's Ealing Studios at the time it was set had more edge.

It feels like being dropped into series five of a long-running 온라인카지노추천 drama, where the characters keep doing pretty much what they've always done but you haven't been part of the journey.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 21, 2017

... the beginning, middle and end of the film are delicious and entertaining at the time but leave no lasting impression or longing for more.

| Sep 15, 2017

[John] Boorman was 82 when he made the film and his direction is easy and effortless, befitting the story.

| Aug 13, 2016

Clearly, the film is suffused with unabashed nostalgia, but there are also moments of grace and beauty.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 22, 2016

The whole thing exudes a warm, honeyed glow, particularly in those scenes where the women - Bill's mum (Cusack) and the object of his affection, Ophelia (Egerton) - seem to embody the sense of loss and social disruption that imbued the age.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 3, 2016

The picture is upfront about being a sequel, but it may play better for those who aren't attached to the original film.

Given how richly his countryman Terence Davies has realized post-war England in movies like Distant Voices, Still Lives and The Deep Blue Sea, the cartoonishness of Queen And Country grates even further.

Full Review | Dec 18, 2015

It's a pleasant, nostalgic movie that didn't need to be made (a memoir written, maybe), chiefly because he has nothing new to say about the postwar era.

| Nov 12, 2015

The film has its moments but not enough to justify a trip to the multiplex.

| Nov 5, 2015

It showcases Boorman's great humanity, but (like Hope and Glory, for that matter) it is almost entirely free of the mild derangement that characterises his best work.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 13, 2015

This is a deeply personal film which also stands as an intriguing record of a period not often revisited in film -- that drab period postwar and pre-Suez in which the country itself, like the flailing young hero Rohan, is struggling to define itself.

| Jun 11, 2015

Everything you'd expect from distinctive film-maker John Boorman: a heartfelt story told in arresting visual tones through a melange of conflicting accents and strangely theatrical staging.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 7, 2015
