Simply A Masterpiece

Absolutely Fantastic

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

This is incredibly slow and at times a self indulgent film. There is very little of anything that has not been said numerous times since the referendum result. He only briefly looks at some of the major reasons why some people voted to leave when wandering round what appeared to be a deprived area in Stoke-on-Trent. Unfortunately he just ended up patronising the residents saying they voted leave and how this was ironic as they would only be saved by EU money. Contributions from Nick Clegg and Vince Cable was probably a mistake as they are both felt to be untrustworthy politicians by many. I also stayed for the Q and A with Mr Wilkinson where he just continually name dropped and criticised the grammar in emails he had received criticising his work. I definitely felt I had wasted 2 hours

I don't expect many leavers to be persuaded by this, but this film stands as a cry of pain from the 16m people who have been thrown under a bus with "£350m a week for the NHS" written on the side. It documents the solid case for staying in the EU, without engaging much with Leaver logic. I thought that might be a problem with the film at the beginning, but in the end it benefits from sticking to this positive, but poignant, manifesto.

Postcards from the 48% serves as an excellent summary of what has happened since the EU referendum: so much has happened since June 2016 and it's good to be reminded. The film informs our fellow citizens in the other 27 European Union countries that a sizeable number of us did not want to leave, and still do not want to leave the EU. However, where we do go from here?

The documentary was a well put together account of the events that led up to the vote and the subsequent disillusionment and political exorcising of the 16.2 million people who voted Remain. Almost half the voting turnout as well as those who were deliberately excluded from their right to vote (under 16s and ex-pats).From the off, the film made a point of focussing on the people. Arguments of economic, legislation, health, business, staffing and more are a personal favourites of mine, but lose most people. The EU Referendum oversimplified the impacts into two ill-defined choices and selected a statistically invalid threshold. Then suddenly, over 16 million people became politically homeless overnight. The director travelled up and down the country to film. Collating a good, representative sample of people within their respective regions. Each very different. It highlighted to me, as someone who is relatively skilled in this area, just how much some Leave voting areas stand to lose and that they will lose the most out of this. Areas like Sunderland, seminal as the first result, have since shown their disgust and changed their minds. Electing pro-Remain councillors at the local elections. These are societies which get the money they desperately need from the EU through merit of application. Not begging to hostile central governments. Sadly, it doesn't appear they will get the opportunity to vote on it. This film captured the importance of this subtle but crucial point really very well.
