"Genius Catcher"

In the drama director's debut, the paragraphs are cut off sharply, as fast as the stage switching, which makes the relationship between the characters advance abruptly, and also relatively exposes the exaggeration of Jude Law's role. But the overall visibility is not low, and there are many highlights of individual scenes.

Colin Firth is as good as ever, and it's all up to him to control the field; Nicole Kidman doesn't have a lot of scenes, but it's all meat, fans should not be disappointed.

People who watched it liked this film very much, perhaps because of their longing for the era of the masters and the good cast of the whole tune. It would be more appropriate if this film had twice as much time and space to be made into a TV movie or mini-series, which would comprehensively show the spirit of the times and characters.
