Peterloo - Comentarios

Leigh is to be applauded for his dedication to accuracy...

Leigh’s ambition (...) is to forge an epic about the powerless rather than the powerful.

There is force, grit and, above all, a sense of purpose; a sense that the story he has to tell is important and real, and that it needs to be heard right now.

The sheer anger Leigh feels burns through the screen, its power ultimately overwhelming any flaws you may have previously noticed.

Leigh’s account of the 1819 Manchester massacre shows the film-maker’s command of a broader canvas than he’s known for.

...en filmiskt kraftfull, men stundtals något övertydlig kompensation för historielektionernas eventuella brister i skolorna.

... ett storslaget och brutalt historiskt drama, väl värd att ses.
