Perhaps if you grew up as a mushroom you might be shocked enough by the content of this film to think it is actually worth something.
It takes elements of King Charles I, Cromwell, the Restoration, Soviet Russia, the novel 1984 and various other things, mixes them together and makes a pointless story pretending to be something more.
It starts off OK but soon it becomes clear the writer has no real ideas of his own and is just loosely copying history.
Apart from Ralph Fiennes putting in a fine performance and some nice shots of the former Royal residence Brighton Pavilion, I was bored and felt I had lost 2 hours of my life.
The ending was the biggest disappointment as it really questions why I bothered to get that far.
