Crossing the Floor

About This Movie

Crossing the Floor is a curious blend of comedy and drama, reflecting the political climate of the UK in the mid-90s. The pacing feels a bit off, sometimes dragging as it explores the absurdities of political maneuvering. You see this Conservative minister, with all his self-interest, cross over to the Labour Party when the balance of power is so fragile. It’s got that biting satire, but it also humanizes the characters—there's a sense of desperation and ambition that rings true. The performances, while not groundbreaking, carry a certain charm, making the characters somewhat relatable despite their faults. Plus, it's a sequel to A Very Open Prison, which adds an interesting layer for collectors who appreciate continuity in storytelling.
