Conclusion: 3/5
A very brave film to make. I liked it how you got to see how horrifying Anna Politkovskaya’s job was really like and what it really entailed. Also, how it affected her family life and what it was like for her going back home. As always I thought Jason Isaacs performance was brilliant and also Maxine Peake gave a strong performance.
