Anyone seen it yet? I went to the cinema for it yesterday.
I dreaded the duration a bit but it soon passed. Visually, it's stunning and I found it fascinating to think that my ancestors may have been there. However, the script felt it was never more than three lines away from the "This is Manchester. We do things differently here," in 24 Hour Party People and there are some points that are so obvious they should be prefaced by a bloke in a hi-vis vest and ear protectors waving table tennis bats about. The principal example was Maxine Peake saying that her daughter would be 84 in 1900 and that "everything will be different then" when of course for women, it wouldn't.
Enjoyable and thought provoking. 3.5/5.
