If you loved Mrs Brown, try Operation Mincemeat

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by John Madden, and they sit in Drama / History territory. If that's the register that drew you to Mrs Brown, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Operation Mincemeat is

You’re a British officer in 1943 when a corpse becomes your most convincing spy. A body washes up near Spain with papers that change the course of war. Madden’s film frames wartime deception as pure farce, leaving you unsure which side outsmarted whom.
