Morningstar

We've all seen those bio-pics where talking heads spout off about people from history, or even from popular culture - this is not one of those.

Rather, it is a bautifully portrayed immersive cinematic portrayal of a man whose name is so much better known than his story. The facts, such that are known, are there and are sympathetically brought to life in a rich amalgam of interviews, commentary and dramatisation against a stunning backdrop of hills, dales, architecture and modern cityscapes. The musical score flowing throughout the film is delightful, adding to the flow of the story without overwhelming.

This could be quite a divisive story, as Wycliffe himself was a divisive character, but instead was presented in a competent and compassionate manner.

A "must watch" for anyone interested in the roots of later reformation, but also accessible to a much wider audience. I'm waiting with hope that the onward story has a chance to be unveiled.
