Title: Love the Sinner, Hate The Sin
Review: Movie is based on a true story about Myra Hindley and Ian Brady, who were charged and convicted with the serial torture and killing of a number of children in Britain in the 1960's. Lord Longford, played by Jim Broadbent, plays the champion of prisoner's rights - he believes in parole and rehabilitation. Longford spends considerable time with Myra Hindley and despite the monstrous crimes and the social pressures from the government, his family and his wife - he continues to advocate for parole for Hindley.The movie is slow, dark and "chilling" however the actors playing Longford, his wife and the two killers are exceptional. Longford/Broadbent is inspirational in his pursuit of "thinking the best of people" no matter what they have done and in his pursuit of "forgiveness" despite being personally hurt and wronged. Good movie...
