   You know, if director Tom Hooper wants to indulge his fascination with history's losers, he's got a fan in me for life. The first part of such a triptych that includes the John Adams mini-series and his acclaimed The King's Speech, is Longford, a biopic made for HBO films about Lord Longford, an unusual British politician who championed prisoners' rights. He became notorious in the 60s and 70s for defending infamous serial child killer Myra Hindley's right to parole, a relationship that is the film's focus. Jim Broadbent transforms himself into this spiritual man who has made forgiveness his life's work, and Samantha Morton brings a humanity to someone most considered an inhuman monster. Lindsay Duncan as Lady Longford, and Andy Serkis as Myra's partner in crime are equally excellent. Hooper uses some archival news footage to give us context, without resorting to anything disturbing involving children (the action is all post-trial). "What can we forgive?" is a powerful question with no easy answers. 8 years 10 months ago

   Great script and terrific performances by all four leads. It's a shame this didn't get the kind of attention that would have come from theatrical release. 12 years 2 months ago
