2/5
Unfortunately the film doesn't quite get to grips with it on anything other than a superficial level, seemingly too charmed by the polite, respectful lead character to get down and dirty with any bigger issues, so punches are pulled in the drama.

Stodgy fare that eulogises the man rather than delving deeply into his compelling life. Go to Full Review Jamie Russell Total Film May 11, 2011
2/5
