David Mamet’s brilliant adaptation of The Winslow Boy is a rich and complex telling of the British classic, brought to life by a superior ensemble of talent. The story follows the lives of the Winslows, a banker’s family living in turn-of-the-century London, as they fight to prove the innocence of their youngest son accused of theft.

Nigel Hawthorne has always been a great actor. To play a politician faithfully has always required some balls. But here he is old, so he plays a caring dad who wants to uncover the truth. The truth is, as is usually the case, somewhere in the middle. Moreover, the plot is a classical British story adapted from a theater play. Quite unnecessarily, in my opinion, just like with many similar films. A boring yet well-crafted film with good acting performances.
