A true long story set in South Africa
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.In 1947 a white woman from England fell in love with a black “would be chief” from an area of Southern Africa. This is a moving and beautifully filmed story for their love and devotion to each other and their beloved country: South Africa. This is a must see. “No man is really free until he controls his own life.”

Great Movie

A small country in Africa ruled by Kings, yet affected by the British rule in the 1940's. While finishing his studies in London, the king to be falls in love with a white British woman. It is "forbidden love" by both families and both nations. Their hearts are pure and their love conquers prejucdice.

Wonderful Love Story!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A United Kingdom depicts a true story from 1947-1954 involving the King and Queen of Botswana, an inter-racial marriage that impacted the interface between the British Empire and one of its colonies struggling for independence. We really enjoyed this production. The actors and director did an outstanding job.

Good Cast, Director, and Story
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Tale of race and colonial politics in late 1940's Botswana. Based upon a true story where a Botswana Prince marries a UK woman. Political forces in the UK and Botswana work to sabotage the union. The story is about the struggles of the couple to stay together and political independence from the UK and South Africa. The actors and storyline were credible. This was worth a watch. Entertaining.

Unsettling
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A story of which I was only slightly aware. The reality of the story, as depicted in the movie, was unsettling. The resolve of the couple to remain together through everything they endured is almost unreal. The lies and treachery from the government should never have happened nor been tolerated. The movie is very thought provoking and proves the idea that truth is stranger than fiction.

Good story.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm a sucker for a film based on a true story lately. The story drives this film. No real action packed scenes. Sometimes you just need a great story. Rosamund Pike is an absolutely beautiful woman.
