The Dig (2021)

"In the vein of hardback/tasteful cinema that's a bit of a Brit movie cliche."

"Not an entirely smooth disinterment but satisfying all the same."

"A lot like sitting at a bus stop."

"It's very easy to get swept away by it all."

"This is serious, intellectually committed, and emotionally piercing cinema. Unmissable."

"A well-timed double dose of consolation and escape."

"It rather poetically places the turbulence of the then-present conflict within the perspective of the millennia of human experience that have come before."

""The Dig" is about the yearning, so human and, yes, so elusive and so futile, to fix the past so that it can be preserved."

"Handsomely mounted period British melodrama."

"It's an intimate film that moves at the deliberate, careful pace of an excavation and, in so doing, uncovers a few gems along the way."

"At its heart of The Dig though are a trio of terrific performances."
