Review of Honour

Honour (2020)
8/10
Important story but some issues
11 October 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Such an important story to be told to raise awareness and to tell this brave girls story. The story is heartbreaking. How can the people who are meant to love you and protect you, put perceived honour and reputation above your life? How brave her sister and boyfriend were too. And how sad it changed their lives immeasurably. My only gripe was keeley hawes and the female analyst breaking down, looking like they're going to cry or quit every 5 mins. This cant be the first murder she worked on. I understand it is an upsetting investigation but speaking as a professional in a similar field you put your "professional face" on at work. Yes go home and cry or cry in the loos, but then you pull yourself together and get your game face on. You are no good to your team (especially if you are a manager or senior officer) if you look like you're going to cry all the time. Why was it just the female officers? The men seemed to be able to set aside their emotions and get on with their jobs. The film suggests that women cannot take on such emotive jobs or men are lacking any empathy or emotion. Really annoyed me. Still would recommend watching it despite this as it is really good.
