I don't recommend this movie and let me tell you why...
This movie has sentiment but it is exaggerated. The characters become monsters for the viewer to hate them and distance him/herself from them. This is an everyday family in a difficult period for England. I don't know if people that could connect with the specific period could see something I didn't. However, the story is too instructional and stereotypical. The whole movie seems to shout:
"The Catholics miseducate their children" "Fascism is hatred that can be self-destructive"
Other stereotypical comments are there, which concern guilt, love and hate, money, pride etc. Frankly, I prefer being in class and preached with outrageous religious beliefs (which I detest), than being treated like a kid that should buy what it sees... I graded it with a 5/10 although I might have overestimated it.
