About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you’re up for a lengthy, character-driven historical drama that mixes political debate with an intense romance and period detail; Not for you if you want fast pacing or light entertainment like Gandhi.

Pros: ambitious historical sweep; strong performances; witness interviews add texture | Cons: very long runtime; slow, talky stretches; romance feels repetitive
