Trivia
Despite being a 'remain' advocate, Benedict Cumberbatch only agreed to do the film after he had been assured by James Graham, who wrote Brexit: The Uncivil War, that it is not going to end up being just a 'pro-EU stitch-up.'

Goofs
Cummings is found typing on his laptop in a storeroom completely in the dark. There should be some illumination from the laptop's monitor.

Quotes
Dominic Cummings: ...as a global society we are entering a series of profound economic, cultural, social and political transitions, the like of which the world has never seen: massive increase in resource requirements, rising tide of religious extremism, the synthesis of the generational inequalities in the West on an historic level.

Biased but still enjoyable

Enjoyed reliving the 2016 referendum , although it seems to be written by a remainer attempting to make Cummings Johnson Gove and co look stupid it didn't spoil the film Cumberbatch acts his role superbly
