This is not a great film by any means. The acting by Hardy is far and away the best part. The main issue with the film is its lack of subtlety and grace. It is like a bull in a china shop . I can't think of any other character in the film that was good or even memorable. The basic plot is fine. The CGI was passable but no more than that. Essentially in a straight race between this and Suicide squad this would be my 2nd choice.

Sometimes the critics get it right. They got this one nailed on.

The director of this documentary wants you to feel some sympathy for Wakefield. This is a story of a self appointed revolutionary, a man who cares and has been hard done by via the vile medical establishment. In one way Bailey does make an argument for how these people can drive others to complete lunacy. Much like cult leaders the world over. In that respect this film is interesting.

What I didn't much like was that this documentary neither deeply dives and informs of the truth of the subject or record the actual facts. I felt that at times it does pander to Wakefield and his stupid, selfish actions which he of course claims were done with the best of intentions. Saying that, I did watch it and found merit in what it tries to do.

This was without doubt the worst movie I have seen this year. Not content with a terrible script, weak effects and awful cast (sorry Katee) it is also astonishingly patronising.
