Rogue One: A Star Wars Story I’m going to try and keep this review short because it’s extremely important not to offer any spoilers for it.

A United Kingdom – A Historical Film With an Exceptionally Timely Title It’s a shame that A United Kingdom was released so late in the year, had it come out before June 23rd, 2016 it might have taught some unsuspecting people a few valuable lessons. This biopic covers the courtship and marriage of Seretse Khama, heir to the throne of Bechuanaland and Ruth Williams.
