Spoonatects Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
EUDeva I saw the screening of this documentary in Chester and found it quite remarkable. I was surprised to read a review by someone called Janhanlon that gave it one star. He refers to the director as patronising towards leavers in Stoke. I find this a surprising statement, as surely it's the elite brexiters who've been patronising, promising working people they'd be better off outside the EU - when in fact that was a blatant lie - and now they are suffering the consequences. Surely it's a film-maker's job to point out the irony - in a city voting to leave a club that actually makes them better off. The old adage turkeys voting for Christmas springs to mind. The whole point of this documentary is to record how the brexit tragedy has unfolded, and give a voice to those who tried to stop it as part of the Remain movement. As an Our Future Our Choice t-shirt says, 'Those who have to live with brexit don't want to.' These are real people in the film who have been campaigning tirelessly to save this country from economic and social suicide. This insightful film will stand as a testimony of a country's unfolding madness, this monument of stupidity called brexit - and the voice of reason trying to make us see sense. It's also worth noting that no one else has made a documentary on this subject - no director wanted to touch it, fearing the repercussions and unable to get mainstream funding. I commend Mr Wilkinson for his bravery in the face of such McCarthy style hysteria for the 'will of the people' - in a referendum based on lies, deception and cheating on an epic scale. Thank you for your courage and truth. Future generations will thank you for recording what happened, when big directors stayed silent. The Remain movement made this film possible, mainly working for free and providing first hand knowledge. Now this grassroots movement is taking on the brexit establishment, and they won't stop until there is a People's Vote and brexit is defeated.
barryk-41572 At a time when this country stands on the edge of a catastrophe this film is a superb record of the deceit, lies and duplicity that has led us to this position. It is extremely thought provoking, at times emotional but overall a necessary historical record of the looming disaster. It needs to be shown far and wide, particularly at film festivals in Europe and beyond. Well done to the makers of this excellent documentary.
janhanlon This is incredibly slow and at times a self indulgent film. There is very little of anything that has not been said numerous times since the referendum result. He only briefly looks at some of the major reasons why some people voted to leave when wandering round what appeared to be a deprived area in Stoke-on-Trent. Unfortunately he just ended up patronising the residents saying they voted leave and how this was ironic as they would only be saved by EU money. Contributions from Nick Clegg and Vince Cable was probably a mistake as they are both felt to be untrustworthy politicians by many. I also stayed for the Q and A with Mr Wilkinson where he just continually name dropped and criticised the grammar in emails he had received criticising his work. I definitely felt I had wasted 2 hours
jrriekemann 'Postcards from the 48%' gives a voice to the 16 million who voted Remain in the 2016 Referendum but who now feel trampled upon in the mad romp towards a full British Brexit. It was also intended to show the other 27 countries that Brexit is not the will of all the people of the UK (in fact, only about 25% of the population voted Leave). Many of us feel that the delusional rhetoric of the most zealous of the Brexiters has stifled rational thought and argument. This film, calmly narrated by David Wilkinson, provided the perfect antidote to the myopic vision of Farage, Rees Mogg, Johnson and others. Travelling throughout the UK and interviewing a range of people (some celebrities, others ordinary folk), he provided a lucid and well-reasoned narrative to show the impact that Brexit is likely to have on communities and individuals. Journalist Rachel Johnson, sister of Boris, said the vote to leave was giving two fingers up to the world while Sir Bob Geldof spoke passionately about the need to ensure peace was kept in Northern Ireland adding, 'We cannot go back to a hard border.' One of the most compelling character was Port Talbot steel worker and union rep 'Pasty' Turner who worried that £200m of EU funding which would be lost post-Brexit would not be reimbursed by the government and would hit Welsh families hard. The plight of non-UK/EU nationals, 5,ooo thousand of whom live and work in Bath, was expressed by local resident Klaus Riekemann who said that he was unable to vote in a referendum that determined his future. Although, this is unashamedly a Remain film with its montages of anti-Brexit marches filling the screen with swirling blue and gold starred flags, anyone with concerns at the state we're in - and the situation seems to have taken a turn for the worse since the film was made with threats of a 'No Deal' Brexit on the horizon - should see this film, listen to the arguments and then, if there's a chance to cast our votes once more, make an informed decision.
