A beautifully crafted story of forbidden love and changing social conventions, My Policeman follows three young people -- policeman Tom (Harry Styles), teacher Marion (Emma Corrin), and museum curator Patrick (David Dawson) -- as they embark on an emotional journey in 1950s Britain. Flashing forward to the 1990s, Tom (Linus Roache), Marion (Gina McKee), and Patrick (Rupert Everett) are still reeling with longing and regret, but now they have one last chance to repair the damage of the past. Based on the book by Bethan Roberts, director Michael Grandage carves a visually transporting, heart-stopping portrait of three people caught up in the shifting tides of history, liberty, and forgiveness.

Hanna Flint Time Out It’s Styles over substance. Rated: 2/4 Nov 16, 2022 Full Review Stephen Romei The Australian It is acutely scripted, sensitively directed and finely acted, including by the pop star-turned actor Harry Styles, who is the policeman of the title. Rated: 3.5/5 Nov 11, 2022 Full Review Caroline Siede Fox 10 Phoenix As a gentle period romance, the film mostly works, particularly whenever Dawson’s mesmerizing performance is front and center. As a launching pad for Styles’ acting career, however, "My Policeman" fails to get off the ground. Rated: B- Nov 8, 2022 Full Review Jericho Tadeo MovieWeb My Policeman stands on the precipice of being something more, something we haven't seen, but it never fully makes the jump. Jul 12, 2024 Full Review Alex Valencia Q+ Magazine It is perhaps the tender and delicate approach to the main romance that makes this film worth seeing (or streaming). Forbidden love stories always have something that manages to push your heartstrings to the limit, and My Policeman is no different. Jul 10, 2024 Full Review Amy Smith InSession Film The overall presentation may be uneven and it won’t be a film that many people will remember or revisit in a few years time. However, I found myself captivated by the tale and that is all I ask with a story like this. Rated: B- Mar 1, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

styles best film yet Great provocative movie. Was very impressed with the actors and Styles really showed his true abilities in this one. Just be forewarned about the graphic sex scenes. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/06/22 Full Review Margaret The movie was fairly predictable and didn’t offer much to the audience except for the cast (the cast was incredible) Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/04/22 Full Review Michael Keegan Well done, i bit slow at times, but a very good gay love stories. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/06/22 Full Review Walter S That was a great find. I love the cadence of the story, by the twists and turns kept me engaged, 10 stars. I feel I really know who Harry Styles is.
