🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Peter Kosminsky's two-part drama is more than a political thriller; it's a profound dissection of a society fractured by anti-terror legislation. The film skillfully resists easy judgments, compelling the viewer to comprehend the motives of characters trapped on opposing sides of an ideological chasm.

What lingers after the credits is a grim, essential understanding of how state security measures can breed personal tragedy and cultivate the very threats they seek to eliminate. It poses uncomfortable questions that defy simple solutions. — MovieFinder Editorial

A climate of suspicion in grey urban estates, the sterile glare of government offices.
