Make no mistake, this is a good film. But it is also overshadowed by its leftists political bias, so you find yourself almost with two reviews.
The film itself is a great story, well made and acted. The main characters are very likeable and you can easily find yourself rooting for them and understanding them all regardless of their positions at the opposite ends of the spectrum.
Whilst this story can easily hold many real world truths for many people, it is a clear propoganda project... Which in such a sensitive time could easily ruin the viewing experience for those emotionally tied to current events if you do not side with the left. Whilst this is a heart warming and heart breaking story, it clearly has a political leaning in order to make a point which in real life may not be totally accurate, as the film does go to some length to suggest illegal immigration = victim/ good, and the British establishment = bad.
Due to its attempt to create a fact based story (which is in itself a good film) but with corrupting bias, it cannot be worth more than a 6.
