Trailer

Why watch this film?

"Official Secrets" is a docudrama (that is, it reenacts a real story trying to be as close to the facts as possible) with a pinch of political thriller. The movie tells the story of Katharine Gun (played by Keira Knightley, from "Pride & Prejudice"), who leaked documents related to the invasion of Iraq in 2003. For precisely trying to be close to what happened, the feature does not innovate in its structure or try to escape the commonplace, but this is compensated by Keira's great performance on screen. The cast also features Matt Smith ("Doctor Who"), Ralph Fiennes ("The Constant Gardener") and Rhys Ifans ("Snowden: Hero or Traitor").
