Reviews
SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.
ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
noelmcglinchey Whatever your views on brexit this is a genuinely fascinating exploration of the the experience of those people who were either shocked or upset by the referendum outcome. This film is a must for anybody trying to understand why so many people in Britain are struggling to come to terms with the referendum outcome. In the end it is an uplifting journey into hope and perhaps resistance.
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.
amandakenwrick Postcards from the 48% is a shocking indictment of how democracy can be undermined by those seeking to destroy democracy for their own personal gain by lies, fraud and interference. This film should be mandatory viewing by all our fellow EU citizens to show them that a sizeable proportion of the population, predominantly the young and better educated, did not want to leave the EU and still do not want to leave the EU. This number is growing larger day by day, and is now the majority according to the most recent, reliable polls. But both the U.K. government and the official Opposition Party, are ignoring us. They refuse to reconsider and are denying us a second vote now that the facts are coming to light. This is NOT democracy
ea_casual The documentary was a well put together account of the events that led up to the vote and the subsequent disillusionment and political exorcising of the 16.2 million people who voted Remain. Almost half the voting turnout as well as those who were deliberately excluded from their right to vote (under 16s and ex-pats).From the off, the film made a point of focussing on the people. Arguments of economic, legislation, health, business, staffing and more are a personal favourites of mine, but lose most people. The EU Referendum oversimplified the impacts into two ill-defined choices and selected a statistically invalid threshold. Then suddenly, over 16 million people became politically homeless overnight. The director travelled up and down the country to film. Collating a good, representative sample of people within their respective regions. Each very different. It highlighted to me, as someone who is relatively skilled in this area, just how much some Leave voting areas stand to lose and that they will lose the most out of this. Areas like Sunderland, seminal as the first result, have since shown their disgust and changed their minds. Electing pro-Remain councillors at the local elections. These are societies which get the money they desperately need from the EU through merit of application. Not begging to hostile central governments. Sadly, it doesn't appear they will get the opportunity to vote on it. This film captured the importance of this subtle but crucial point really very well.
