Claustrophobic melodrama with candlelit interiors, huge close-ups and cameras mounted on floor. Director must have seen "The Favourite" just before he started this. Exteriors are signaled by flying leaves. Kenneth Brannagh dominates as Lead, Producer & Director. Judy Dench adds a Warwickshire accent to her Philomena, but the showstopper is Ian Mackellan as Gandalf in a blond wig, who is in it for 10 minutes. It's not terrible, but Ben Elton forgot to put in some jokes (despite the trailer suggesting it was a comedy).
