The Ipcress File is quite enjoyable. In a classic style of way. One way is the fact is that it doesn't have the necessary action, booms and bangs that current movies have. More cerebral and dialogue driven. Multiple homages to the original movie and Michael Caine. Yet there are moments that "drag" on a tad too much.
The style of shooting of the "Dutch tilt" is effective and relevant for particular suspense moments. Unfortunately it is over used, and not necessarily required in literally 90% of the show.
Acting from the main cast is realistic and well portrayed for the relevant time / era.
Always enjoyable to see Tom Hollander excel as usual.

In essence it's about a love story, but war and nazi idealism pushing them apart.
Storyline touches all aspects and perspectives from four different levels. Parent and child on opposite sides of the war.
Father & son trying to remain as loyal as humanely possible to the Nazi regime and Mother and daughter just trying to survive.
Unfortunately the young daughter is of a black race, and as such is frowned upon, cruelly treated.
I did take notice that the true horrors of Nazism wasn't fully portray...especially Judaism and the severity of the concentration camps.
On that note I have come to the conclusion that the movie is targeting all age groups.
I would definitely take 13yr too see....appropriately age where a honest post movie discussion can happen if questions are asked about WW2. And I believe they have the maturity to comprehend the severity and horrific nature of the war.
All actors did an excellent job, especially the lead Amandla.
Dialect coach definitely did an amazing job...no British nor Australian accent noted from the the parents!!
Deserves a high rating....not sure why several low scores? Good to see quite a few agree with me on a high end of scoring.
Overall I would recommend this movie to all.
