10/10
A docudrama that delivers. Don't expect a blockbuster.

What you have to expect in watching this docudrama is a docudrama! I feel that some of the bad reviews going on here were expecting an epic of a film wrapped up in 130 minutes or just a series of historical facts strung out one after the other. I am a huge fan of dramatic films and documentaries and this hybrid was right on the sweet spot for me. People are going to complain about the CGI and while it wasn't blockbuster standards guess what it wasn't a blockbuster. It was a TV movie and they did what they could within their means.

The love story between Gwen and Wilhem was delivered quite well. I would have wanted more of that in this project but again it is a docudrama not just purely a drama. Some tough choices had to be made on what to cut down on I'm sure and given that the actors had only such a small story arc I commend them for the performance.

Really, check this out if you have time to kill and adore documentaries. I think that is the target audience for this project. In that regard, 10/10.
