A LEVEL

History Boys (2006)

was a play in London, then New York and then adapted for a film which we saw today.

It is probably not as good as the play since it depends, to some extent, on the theatricality of the situation and story.

Fortunately, they do not 'take it outside' all that much but there is still a bit of the chafe of the two mediums crunching together.

That said, I will not be seeing the play so no matter. I got to see its heart.

And it is a heart that beats very strongly.

It is challenging and rewards the work you put into it.

It is funny and sad and exciting; all the emotions that good drama should offer.

It is a 5 out of Netflix5.

Worth seeing again sometime.
