Agnes O'Casey (her debut) gets drawn into Jewish counter-offensive to National Socialist Party, i.e. Fascists. Had no idea things were that bad for Jews in 1962.
Eddie Marsan as militant Jew and Rory Kinnear as Fascist both great.
Interesting treatment mixes stock footage with widescreen 2.4:1. Ben Onono's music is good.
There's something about it I can't quite get in to. We wondered if actually it's O'Casey's performance - she's just not strong enough to carry it? Also wondered about the direction. And the ending.
Good cast overall includes Tracey Ann Oberman, Rita Tushingham. With Henry Wilton-Hunt, Samantha Spiro, Will Keen, Julia Krynke, Danny Sykes (Marsan's son), Allan Corduner, Tamzin Outhwaite, Gabriel Akuwudike, Hannah Traylen, James Craze, Danny Hatchard
