Inspired by the true story of novelist E.M. Forster’s forty-year love life with a policeman, the film squanders a promising opportunity, for it neither captures the tragic lives of gay and bisexual men nor the straight women in their lives.
The first word that comes to mind when we recall watching "My Policeman," the British drama, now available on Amazon Prime Video, is dreary. And by dreary we are referring not only to its execution, but the context that forms the film.
