The Dig

I really enjoyed this movie. Wonderful characters and well played, with a lovely story.

A brilliant and beautiful film based on a true story with amazing performances by Carey Mulligan, Ralph Fiennes and Lily James.

What’s lovely, slowly developing and enveloping film.

I hadn’t expected a film about an archeological dig site to be this gripping and even, exciting, without any of the finds coming back to life one way or another.

And so many wonderful, wholesome characters. Like Mary, and Peggy. Of course, Basil. And Robert, toward the end. Brilliant, beautiful, and also a bit… sad. 💜

Based on a true story, this is definitely a low key non-action movie. It moves along slowly, but doesn't get bogged down. There's nothing outstanding, but nothing disappointing about it either. A good time waster with a nice story. 8/10

This is a wonderful story, exquisitely told. A wonderful cast giving fine performances. The whole production is understated which only lends to its tone and colour. Even the music is gracefully simple yet classic. I give this film an 8 (very good) out of 10. [Drama based on a real event]

Slow-paced yet compelling film about discovery of Sutton Hoo burial. A quiet world one wants to inhabit. I would watch again.

The fact that this film is watchable and even on some level enjoyable is a testament to the perfectly understated performances of Fiennes and Mulligan. Think about it - the movie is about an archeological dig where there really is no "a-ha" moment.

Definitely an enjoyable movie, more of a slow burn but was able to shine with amazing dialogue and cast. Based on the Sutton Hoo excavation which I've heard about a lot from school but it was nice to see it portrayed on the big screen.

a slow movie based on a true story, so it was interesting
