My Policeman
¿De qué trata la historia?
In MY POLICEMAN, married couple Tom and Marion Burgess (Linus Roache and Gina McKee) are forced to face up to their past when old friend Patrick Hazelwood (Rupert Everett) moves in with them.
¿Vale la pena?
Set in Brighton, England, and adapted from a 2012 novel of the same name, this romantic drama jumps back and forth between the 1950s and 1990s. At the heart of My Policeman is a gay love story and the struggles that homosexual men in particular faced both from society and the law in the not too distant past. In a series of prolonged flashbacks, pop star turned actor Harry Styles plays Tom Burgess, a policeman who falls in love with museum curator, Patrick Hazelwood (David Dawson). But at a time when being gay was illegal in the United Kingdom, the two hide their relationship and Tom marries Marion (Emma Corrin) instead.
The film does a good job of depicting the struggles that men like Tom and Patrick faced. The secrecy, the threat of violence and arrest, and the impact that all had on their well-being. However, the film suffers from a poor script and unfortunately Styles doesn't convince that his leap from pop stardom to silver screen will be a seamless one. With the likes of seasoned pros such as McKee and Everett -- who play the older versions of Marion and Patrick -- and the impressive Dawson, Styles' performance takes you out of the moment, which is to the detriment of the film.
