The Dig

— "The Dig" is an interesting, simple, sensitive story based on a 1938 archaeological dig in Suffold, England. It’s nicely told, showcases some gorgeous countryside, and features Carey Mulligan and Ralph Fiennes, two more than competent lead actors. In addition to the events surrounding the discovery and the relationships among the people involved, it manages to consider at who writes history, owns it, and is credited for it, a subject I find worthwhile and fascinating. It’s a little slower pace than I’m used to, but I liked it nonetheless. [Netflix streaming.]
