Peterloo
Description
This story tells about more powerful historical events in the world. It is a series of events surrounding the famous Petrolo massacre of 1819. It was indeed a real massacre, transformed from a peaceful pro-democracy demonstration to a place for the dead and the wounded everywhere. It was in St. Peter's Square in Manchester, where it turned from a peaceful demonstration into one of the bloodiest events in Europe's history because of those victims who went for reform.

The most disappointing film of the year.

Peterloo's deliberate pacing and structure makes the evolution of a movement feel completely organic.
September 01, 2018
The authenticity is immersive, even if the historical exposition occasionally feels like prep for an exam no one's warned you about.
November 18, 2018
Violence takes a backseat to powerful rhetoric in this dense, Universal Credit-era history lesson.
September 01, 2018
With this richly intelligent, passionate movie Mike Leigh has fought a brilliant rearguard action on history's political battlefield.
September 02, 2018
Those with the patience and attention span are rewarded; the last 30 minutes is perhaps the most visceral filmmaking Leigh has ever pulled off...
September 01, 2018
It's a stately, explicitly rhetorical paean to the people - setting the past in stone while also lashing out at a present-day political order.
September 01, 2018
Leigh's passion for the material seems to have led him to approach it from an angle more pedagogic than artistic.
January 25, 2019
It seems perverse that a film of such length should find no home for so many of its director's assets. Detailed character-work, complex domestic relationships, humour: these are elements that would have made the picture engaging.
November 07, 2018
It is beautifully shot and the costume department have a real eye for detail... but despite the sheer drama of these historical events and their relevance to today's fractured world, Peterloo fails to ignite real passion and anger.
September 08, 2018
You can feel Leigh's fury glowering off the screen through the entire last act, but that fury does the film and the filmmaker little service.
December 13, 2018
Peterloo feels a little too much like an agenda is being pushed, but this is nevertheless a powerful, pertinent piece of work.
