Ever since I saw Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind—the wildly imaginative, deeply moving, incredibly insightful sci-fi/romance/drama/comedy with Jim Carrey that came out in 2004—I've been pretty keen to see what else writer-director Michel Gondry can do.

It's directed by Michael Apted, written by Steven Knight, and tells the true story (dramatized, of course) of the life of William Wilberforce, a British politician who successfully wages the first modern political campaign, and......
