Loved, loved, loved this. Sally Hawkins is just brilliant and it was a really educational piece about a part of history that I knew nothing about. Great cast and really worth seeing...
Felt truely inspired and wanted to get out there marching......just shows what standing up and staying up can do. One of my top films for this year

They got there at 10:30 to find the cinema was closed, nothing unusual for Greenwich you might think, but when there was still no sign of life by 11am apparently a huge queue had built up around the car park of people waiting to get in (for various films), and it was only when people started to bang on the window that a member of staff appeared, but only to tell everyone that he had no idea when the cinema would open, when films would start, and that he couldn't say anything else until the manager came down. So they waited, and waited, and waited and when by 11:40 the manager still hadn't appeared they and others finally lost patience and went home. They have no idea if the film even ended up being shown at all. They were not happy
And I thought they were bad with Princess & The Frog when we waited in the cold in January. You're right, nothing unusual for O Greenwich!
