A United Kingdom (Amma Assante 2016).The Bechuanaland prince (David Oyelowo), in the late Forties, marries a plucky white English woman (Rosamund Pike) and tries to return from his law studies in England to become king. Nothing but trouble ensues with his disapproving uncle - and the British Empire, which wants to stay on the good side of apartheid South Africa. Behind the stolid earnestness (and impeccable acting by Oyelowo and Pike) is a chess game of empire. Probably not accurate, and told very much as a story of the triumph of love over obstacles. Sweet, with an odious imperial British villain or two, especially Jack Davenport as Sir Alistair Canning. It's simplistic, but he's good at it. Not much fun though.
