The Best Of Men 2012

 

Starring: Eddie Marsan

In 1943, a refugee doctor from Nazi Germany uses new methods to rehabilitate those with spinal injuries in Great Britain. Based on actual events

Remarkable story, beautifully acted, it tears at the heartstrings and yet you have to admire the dogged, determination of Dr Ludwig Guttmann. You almost wanted this to be a series of hourly episodes, this surely only scratched the surface. Released in the year of the UK 2012 Olympics, the final couple of minutes unashamedly brought a lump to my throat.   8/10
