Torvill & Dean (2018 Gilles MacKinnon)

A fairly straightforward biopic, written by William Ivory (Made in Dagenham), features some lovely editing in montage scenes by Anne Sopel. Poppy Lee Friar and Will Tudor play the skating couple, with Stephen Tomkinson, Jaime Winstone, Dean Andrews, Anita Dobson, Christine Bottomley. Shot by Damien Elliott.

It's surprisingly watchable.

Would like to have known how much they were earning, and what happened after they won the gold. But the decision to use the real Bolero footage was quite right.
