The Special Relationship (2010 TV Movie)
7/10
A Fascinating Political Friendship
14 June 2016
I am far too young to know the Monica Lewinsky/Bill Clinton scandal in detail, however, like most, I am aware of the basics surrounding it. What I found thoroughly enjoyable was the chance to watch the"supporting cast" during the scandal.

Hilary Clinton, as portrayed by Hope Davis, was a pleasure to watch - especially so since she's currently running for President! I truly felt her emotions throughout the film. From steadfast support to shock, to shame and embarrassment - Hope Davis perfectly displayed them all.

The chance to watch the relationship between Tony Blair and Bill Clinton was also immensely captivating. Again, Michael Sheen did an outstanding job of showing the audience Tony Blair's emotions throughout the film.

It wasn't the absolute best adaptation from that time period that I have ever seen, but I believe it is well worth a watch. I greatly appreciated the outstanding performances of the cast as I watched the Clinton/Blair relationship form and evolve during the Lewinsky trial.
