Terence Davies both wrote and directed the movie.
I’m looking forward to this one, now we just have to find time to watch TV. I wonder how he did with conformity. My uncles wife had a similar situation in her family recently. They are born again Christians (very VERY devout). It was quite a scandal when her brother left his wife because he couldn’t conform anymore.
ReplyDeleteIt's always been tough and it still is, imagine how it is in other countries if it is still difficult in yours. In my country you get beaten in the streets.

ReplyDeleteI do ever so love me both Jackie Lowden and Jeremy Irvine.
