Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict
SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
Leoni Haney Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
drslop This is a quirky and unusual take on British architectural history by climbing the exteriors and in some cases interiors of Durham Cathedral, Lincoln Cathedral, Caernarfon Castle, New College, Oxford, Layer Marney Tower, Burghley House, St Paul's Cathedral, Blenheim Palace, Clifton Suspension Bridge, St Pancras Railway Station and Midland Hotel, Glasgow School of Art, Royal Liver Building, Coventry Cathedral, Lloyd's Building, and Imperial War Museum North.It's a very close-up view of building design, construction and materials.And there are much, much worse cultural documentaries and hosts out there with MUCH higher ratings! (See anything with the truly ghastly Dan Cruikshank, for example.)
