A United Kingdom Trailer
A United Kingdom had its world premiere in Toronto a few months ago, to mostly positive reviews. The Guardian approvingly noted that “it is Asante’s talent for making the personal political – and vice versa – that is the real story here. Similarly, Empire was pleased to see that Asante “finds personal moments amid the political storms and emphasizes Ruth’s less headline-grabbing struggles in her new home.” On the flip side, Variety was disappointed to find that the movie “treats their love story like a Disney princess movie, reducing the drama to a series of polite disagreements between the couple and the cardboard officiates who opposed their union.“A United Kingdom is in theaters February 17, 2017. February in general is going to be a big month for Oyelowo — he’s also got God Particle coming out just a few days later on February 24.
A UNITED KINGDOM is the true story of the forbidden love of King Seretse Khama of Botswana (David Oyelowo) and Ruth Williams (Rosamund Pike), a white woman from London, which caused an international uproar when they decided to marry in the late 1940s just as apartheid was being introduced into South Africa. It was a decision that altered the course of African history.
