I really wanted to like this movie but I struggled to stay awake through it. For me it had none of the nuanced beauty of The Imitation Game, but rather a lot of political waffle, which left me sadly caring more about when it was finally going to end, than what happened to any of the characters. I know I'm in the minority here but I also thought that whilst there were some very strong performances, I didn't feel any were really Oscar worthy. I would think that if someone was in to politics and the american post-war fear around communism, then this could be an interesting watch for them. With all the great names attached, Christopher Nolan at the helm, and a lot of media attention, I expected a lot, but was ultimately left thinking; style over substance.
