Trivia

Things worth knowing

• 1Released 5 years ago.
• 2International production across 2 countries: United Kingdom, United States of America.
• 3Directed by Jonathan Butterell, shot by Christopher Ross. Note their partnership — DPs and directors often return to each other across a career.
• 4Original score by Anne Dudley. Worth a dedicated listen after — most great films lose half their impact without the score.
• 5Editor Mark Everson shaped the rhythm. On an edit-heavy film, the editor does more to control your pulse than the director.
• 6Max Harwood and Sarah Lancashire and Lauren Patel carry the top of the cast.
• 7Marketing tagline: "The true story that became a musical sensation.".
• 8IMDB entry: tt8635092 — still the authoritative cross-reference for credits and trivia.

  This wasn't a bad movie and it's pretty rare to come across musicals these day, but while Jamie's character annoyed me a bit at times I mostly enjoyed it.
