Review of My Boy Jack

My Boy Jack (2007 TV Movie)
7/10
Moving true story from WWI.
28 December 2023
Excellent casting, strong performances & some careful attention to detail. Without giving too much away Daniel Radcliffe enlists in the army as WWI breaks out after some trouble entering, putting himself in mortal peril and splitting the family down the middle with the women full of reservations but his father left feeling as proud as punch. The second part then shifts to focussing exclusively on his family and their search for answers.

The main weaknesses of the story I thought was there was a bit too much exposition and every thought and feeling being spelled out for the viewer at times. The casting and performances though were all excellent, especially for.
