Viewing Notes

Watching, of course, for Josh O’Connor.  And definitely need subtitles for his accent in this film.  Letitia Wright gives an excellent performance.  I was impressed that the film doesn’t use brutal flashbacks as a crutch for storytelling.  I found the film to be sobering and authentic.
