What a brilliant film! Really interesting to follow all the different characters as they make their way to China, and then follow their progress in the competition. I liked the way it didn’t try to gloss over the trials of getting older, and it was great to have Les, one of the main characters in the film, there in the Hyde Park Cinema.
