The Village

A young boy grows up in an English village as rural life is transformed by war, class divisions, political change, and family struggles. Framed by interviews in the present day, the story follows the community across the early decades of the twentieth century.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you favor emotionally intense British period dramas such as War & Peace or The Forsyte Saga; Not for you if you want light, fast-moving entertainment or an idealized view of history.
