ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

adonis98-743-186503 The story of King Seretse Khama of Botswana and how his loving but controversial marriage to a British white woman, Ruth Williams, put his kingdom into political and diplomatic turmoil. The 2 stars aren't believable and their romance is fake and leaves A United Kingdom as a big disappointment.

Andres-Camara It's a nice movie to watch. You will not find the movie of the year, but let's see. I do not understand, because many of the characters accept what they did not accept before, without having happened anything in the film. I just understand that the uncle accepts it.The script, when dealing with such a long story, gets too shallow in all subjects, does not get into anything in depth. But it's enough to make you aware of what happened.The actors are all well, no one stands out but none are left behind.Sometimes it is a bit sentimental, although fortunately, not too much.I like photography a lot, that in addition to being pretty, gets you into the movie, although I would have liked a more red Africa and did not fill the English windows with light.The management at least gets you bored, since the film is very English and the tempo is relatively slow but not so much to bore you. I do not like the little taste he has for the camera. He uses it without a sense. Just simple plans and do not follow a rule.It's a movie that you'll see right. But not beyond that

Jeff2sayshi A United Kingdom is based on the true story of Seretse Khama and the woman he married, Ruth. Seretse, heir to the throne in his native Bechuanaland, is sent as an orphan to study in London where he meets Ruth. Their union is frowned upon by all involved, with racial undertones and government meddling behind it. The movie shows the perseverance of the couple against all that.The story feels familiar, partly because we so recently saw David Oyelowo play Martin Luther King in Selma, another role where race was a major factor. Even though this is a love story at heart, many of the same beats are felt.That, however, doesn't take away from the impact of the movie. The viewer is given time to get to know the characters and their motivation and truly become invested. When Seretse and Ruth meet up against their various obstacles whether in London or Africa the emotion can be felt.The one thing missing from the movie is a true sense of growing unrest by the people being wronged. A key point in the movie is Seretse's banishment from his home to London, and while his people he would serve as king are shown to stand against it, there is never a notion that things could turn for the worse. It would have helped add to the tension if that had been shown, but the focus is clearly more of the love story between Ruth and Seretse.Overall, the film is highly recommended for its love story, its history and its portrayal of perseverance in the face of inequality.

Michael Ledo This is a docudrama about Seretse Khama (David Oyelowo ) who was the son of a king of Botswana, a protectorate of England. While being educated in London in 1947, he meets Ruth Williams (Rosamund Pike) who he weds to the ire of nearly everyone on the planet, or so it seems. His marriage to a white woman upsets the neighboring nations of Botswana (Bechuanaland), especially South Africa introducing apartheid. They pressure the British government to prevent Kharma from tribal rule.The film looks at both the difficulty in the politics and personal lives of an interracial couple in segregated Africa. The production shows the couple as simple and humble. Rosamund doesn't appear to have make-up on for much of the film or own a comb. Election politics plays a role and Churchill is seen as a bad guy making hollow promises. I did not find David Oyelowo over powering in this role. Maybe it is just me, but I didn't like him as MLK or in Five Nights in Maine either. He was acceptable, but I am not standing up, lighting my Zippo, whistling, and tossing Frisbees.Guide: No F-words. Infrequent racial slurs. No nudity. A sensual scene.
