I finally finished watching this last night. I got all the feels from it, especially the last 15 mins or so. It was well done.

I just watched The Trial of The Chicago 7. It made me want to hit Frank Langella. It’s one of the few tolerable performances by Sasha Baron Cohen (I really dislike all the Ali G / Borat stuff) and has reinforced my belief that Eddie Redmayne always looks a bit like a slightly drooling frog.

PS it’s very good though.

Secrets of the Saqqara Tomb - some of the reconstructions of the findings are a bit cringy but you forgive for such a good subject matter. And the pure enthusiasm of all involved is lovely.

Jolene at the orphanage must be at least 13 when Beth arrives, aged 9, but is still there 6 years later.
The Mexican would presumably be within a year or two of his American penpal, but the actors are 13 years apart.
Isn't Beth 13 when she leaves? So 4yrs later. So if Jolene was actually 11 or 12, she could plausibly still be there?

I very nearly watched this last night (watched Hot Tub Time Machine instead :mog: ) will add it to the list.

I got the impression 13 was a lie because Beth went to correct it and the house mistress gave a look.

Yes, we watch with subtitles, so she definitely said "Actually I'm fif..".

Ah! During the course of adopting a child wouldn't you see their birth certificate?!

Some viewers think the ‘we’re glad we got an older child’ comment and the look from the adopted dad in the car as they left implied they’d learnt the truth upon actual adoption.

Ah, ok.
I just took that as a teenage child rather than a baby and his look to be general antipathy to the whole situation

:lol: Maybe they didn't care? They must have known the truth, since (apparently) she went to school in the right age group.

ETA. I was afraid the look was pervy, but obvs it turned out he was just a git.

Well, that too, I thought he's either going to abuse her or he's just really unenthusiastic about this.

Same! I thought he was looking for an older child for a reason.

I started watching last night and had to force myself to turn it off at 12:30am.

Apologies if this has already been mentioned, I haven’t read the thread as I don’t want to read anything ahead of the Queen’s Gambit episode I’m on.

BUT, Mr S looked up the Billy Watts actor!

I recognised him straight away! Though emma_p did mention a Love Actually actor so my brain might have had a head start.

I have serious face blindness, especially with men. I never would have got further than “have probably seen him before”.

Oh I always recognise him instantly. He's in GoTs as well. And he's the voice of Ferb in Phineas & Ferb. :lol:
