A United Kingdom

— A look at the 1947 marriage between a Bortswana king and a British white woman and the international crisis it created. The film was interesting and based on something with which I was unfamiliar, but it wasn’t sure if it wanted to be political, touching, or pseudo-documentary. It was lucky to have David Oyelowo and Rosamund Pike so the shifting motives weren’t too disturbing. [Netflix.]
