Exceptionally well made film showcasing both the horrors of war and the horror of living a life that is essentially a lie. Excellent performances all around.

[IFFR'22] Another biographical view of the director, through the representation of the life of the poet Siegfried Sassoon, and that connects with the feeling of guilt for homosexual desire in a Catholic environment that he showed in his first short films, "The Terence Davies Trilogy" (1983). Through scenes that have some theatricality and dialogue that can sometimes be affected, the film is a profound portrait of an unhappy life, of inevitable sadness.
