The greatest movie ever!

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Snapshot of a bygone era. This film is just wonderful. It's a brief travelogue of holiday scenes shot at Blackpool in 1957, set to the accompaniment of music from Chris Barber jazz band. Although born a year after this film was made, the scenes are familiar to me from childhood holidays. In 1982 as a member of staff on a British Antarctic survey base, this film was the most popular of all at our disposal. Yes, it's nostalgic, but what's wrong with that? If you like jazz, you will love the soundtrack.
