For Beverly and me it was a truly great movie. William Wilberforce has always been one of my great heroes. In my opinion this movie is a magnificent tribute to his indomitable spirit and humanity.
What a marvelous movie in every respect -- I haven't witnessed audience applause at the conclusion of a film in a long time.
Of course with such consummate actors as Ioan Gruffudd , Albert Finney, Michael Gambon and Benedict Cumberbatch, et al in leading roles the presentation was superb.
Stay for the final credits -- the bagpipe rendition of
Amazing Grace is heart rending.
