What we think

The Dig struggles somewhat to fit all its material into its two hour runtime, but even with some unnecessary loose threads, it’s still a charming and resonant biopic that pays sincere homage to historical curiosity and the passion of academic oddballs.

What others think

This movie has Englishness right through it like a stick of rock, a vigorous sense of place and period, though it’s in the vein of hardback/tasteful cinema that’s a bit of a Brit movie cliche.
