User Review - 10/10 by Christian CThis has fantastic acting in all characters. Matt Smith played Chris beautifully and the story line kept me hanging on as if I was apart of the film. I watch this film frequently becuase it is an amazing piece of art about history. I was so amazed the first time I watched it that I ended up researching about Christopher Isherwood. I recommend this to anyone who loves, history and fantastic acting and British film work.
User Review - 10/10 by Jeff LOne of the best films I've seen in the past few years. I've read all of Isherwood's books and found this adaptation beautifully told and true to the source material. The cinematography is stunning.
User Review - 10/10 by Paul DHe did this during a "Dr Who" brake and it was still filmed in Wales! lol Love, love, love it!
User Review - 10/10 by Luke GBeautifully shot and acted, Christopher and His Kind is another triumph for BBC.
User Review - 10/10 by James LThis exceptional autobiographical film depicts the Berlin period from 1929-1939 in the life of gay writer and creative, Christopher Isherwood, and is based on his memoir of the same title. The large gay culture in the Weimar Republic of pre-Nazi Berlin was largely well-accepted, yet gay men in particular became a prime target for Fascist misplaced anger at the long years of austerity and poverty produced by the signing of the Treaty of Versailles. As Hitler coalesced working class anger and middle class angst, he also exploited the cultures long seen as not truly German: Jews, gays, the Romany, and others, using them as punching bags and ultimately committing horrendous acts of genocide, resulting in the deaths of millions of Jews and an incalculable number of gay men. Isherwood's perspective is candid, descriptive, and engaging. Christopher's "Kind" is MY kind: I am a gay man. I am honored that this man, who left us in 1986, shared so much of his personal life with great detail. Thank you, Christopher: I call you brother.
User Review - 10/10 by Benne SLoved this so much. Fabulous glimpse into a bygone era. Had me laughing one minute and crying the next. After it finished it made me realise momentarily at just how fleeting life truly is.
User Review - 10/10 by JB TIt's eye opening. If you are not comfortable with yourself, it could be hard to watch. It really shows a changing world and what people had live through. Love was not enough when split by hate.
User Review - 10/10 by Mateo SMatt Smith is mesmerising in this classy adaptation of Christopher Isherwood's no holds bared autobiography.
User Review - 8/10 by Andre Ra touching, well-acting turn that manages to move one without getting sappy and has just enough clipped British humor to make one smirk now and then as well. Add to this good visuals and you have quite the good flick on your hands!
User Review - 8/10 by Richard LIt was hard for me not to see Matt Smith as Doctor Who instead of Christopher Isherwood, though what he kept pulling out of his pants was something other than a sonic screwdriver. By the end of the movie, though, Smith had become this other character, especially because of the emotional arc of his relationship with Heinz (the luminous Douglas Booth) was wonderfully complex, including a bittersweet reunion rife with all sorts of undercurrents. I was surprised to learn that Cabaret and Sally Bowles follow from Isherwood's prose and the real Jean Ross (Imogen Poots). I feel duly educated and my curiosity to read Isherwood's work piqued.
