Q-Man

This is a well told story of what was once forbidden love. We're lucky that our society as a whole has progressed from that era, although things are still far from perfect. The film traveled back and forth through time to tell the story of the three individuals. Because of societal pressures, none were able to live the lives they should have had.

The movie is leaves much unsaid. There are gaps in the timeline, we don't know how Tom, Marion and Patrick lived their middle years but we suspect they were less happy than the characters deserved to be.

The acting was consistently excellent, from all the actors, young and older. My Policeman is well worth watching. It deserves Oscar recognition.

I wanted to watch this because I've seen Callum Woodhouse in "The Durrells" and "All Creatures Great and Small" and wanted to see how he'd handle a more serious role. He did well, in a supporting role, but I had great difficulty in following the film. I admit I watched it on an iPad and not a TV, but the real problem was with the lighting. Almost every scene was too dark to see what was going on. I turned the brightness up, but still too dark.

As to the plot itself, it was rather convoluted. Yes, there were plot twists but the development was poor. It really could have been much better, which was disappointing because I was hoping for something more. Good actors were put in a mediocre movie.
