After repeatedly watching the BBC interview, drawn in by the sheer astonishment of the event and the way the Prince, almost comically, undermined his own credibility, the news of this entire episode being adapted into a film piqued my interest immensely. The anticipation for the movie's premiere was palpable, particularly after catching glimpses of Sewell's portrayal of Andrew, which promised a compelling reenactment. However, upon finally viewing the film, I must express my disappointment. While the lead actors impressively mirrored their real-life counterparts in appearance, the production overall did not live up to expectations. The narrative seemed to lack substance, meandering without a clear purpose, rendering the storyline somewhat inconsequential and detached from the gravity of the actual events. In contrast, the original interview retains its ability to stay compellingly intense, offering an endlessly fascinating watch that the movie, unfortunately, couldn't replicate.
