Review of "A Very English Scandal"

Full review

Excellent performances by both Grant (Thorpe) and Whishaw (Scott/Josiffe) and the supporting cast. Nice period touches by Frears. On the one hand a reminder of how far we have come as a society in 50 years on homosexuality. On the other hand a depressing reminder of how little has changed about the way the English establishment closes ranks and protects, its own even after finally being forced to take action against immorality and cancerous ambition in its midst.
