    Whilst I have never seen an Alan Bennett play on stage this is my second time watching a film adaptation. At first it appeared to be a poor man’s dead poets society, however the film was incredibly dull for the large part with characters who weren’t fleshed out at all. This wouldn’t be too bad if it wasn’t for the films sympathetic portrayal of Hector which made this film really tough to enjoy.
