Overview
As WWII looms, a wealthy widow hires an amateur archaeologist to excavate the burial mounds on her estate. When they make a historic discovery, the echoes of Britain's past resonate in the face of its uncertain future.
The fact that this film is watchable and even on some level enjoyable is a testament to the perfectly understated performances of Fiennes and Mulligan. Think about it – the movie is about an archeological dig where there really is no “a-ha” moment.
