Man of Iron

In Warsaw in 1980, the Communist Party sends disgruntled radio reporter Winkel to Gdańsk to dig up dirt on the shipyard strikers - particularly on Maciek Tomczyk, an independent labour union leader whose father was killed in the December 1970 protests. Posing as sympathetic, Winkel interviews the people surrounding Tomczyk, including his detained wife, Agnieszka.

    Not my cup of tea. The storyline was predictable and the characters lacked depth.

    An emotional rollercoaster. The soundtrack was beautiful and really added to the experience.

    A fun, light-hearted movie that's perfect for a weekend watch. Not too deep, but enjoyable.

    A gripping story with strong performances. The ending was a bit predictable, but overall a great watch.
