It's no secret that the British government is made up of largely incompetent, opinionated buffoons, and their actions here further compound their ignorance. A sad piece of history, though (without going into spoilers) there is hope. A decent depiction of a true story, with some strong performances.

An acceptable depiction of equally vexing and inspiring historical events. However, the conclusion of the film in the atmosphere of intended hope to inspire further unity, has been dulled (for me personally and not by any fault of its own) by the reality of pervasive and persistent prejudice in our current world.

TLDR: Nice film, good story but not much has changed for the better. Overt prejudice just became covert and is now overt again.

This bio-drama is not for those seeking immediate action. The real people portrayed are interesting as well as their incredible story, but in order for the story to move along it had taken them weeks, months and years to finally solve what the problem was besides getting over the obvious bigotry of apartheid and the politics behind it, as well as the shortcomings of well known British politicians and the whole mindset of the changing of the modern colonial powers in the 20th century. Ms. Pike and Mr. Oyelowo manage to carry a sincere pathos despite the extraordinary times they lived in. The antagonists were more held up by the racial politics of the time, without going further into their stances, except for obvious pure ignorance and hubris.

More than a love story, this telling of the birth of The Republic of Botswana is a tale well told, well acted and beautifully framed in its period and it's land. Superb cast, and well paced story telling. I give this a 9 (superb) out of 10.

I am usually not particularry thrilled when I read "based on a true story" because, honestly, not everyone that makes it into a movie is worth telling. But this one sure is. This is so much more then just a love story.

I found this film to be an endearing testament to the historical implications of this specific love story. It had well-done cinematography, and the main leads certainly muster great performances that I enjoyed. If I could make one consideration, I perceived this film to have been a more simplistic overview of the actual historical events, but after my own research, the alterations were simply the filmmakers condensing certain events, which I wholly approve. Again, this was a joyous film that I had a great time with, and if people are just interested in a great love story overpowering existing obstacles, this is a great one to watch.
