This U.K.-made movie features solid acting and an excellent script by Peter Morgan.
Entertainment Weekly
The dramatic conflict is clearly enough etched and provides a sufficient feast of acting for this to work offshore as a specialist, upscale item.

Variety
Rating: A --
Though thematically similar to Dead Man Walking, Longford grapples more directly and thoughtfully with religious themes, and doesn't glorify its eccentric, somewhat tragic protagonist.

Product Description:
Mere mention of convicted child murderer Myra Hindley's name is enough to send shivers down the spines of most people in her native U.K. This HBO drama concerns the strange friendship Hindley struck up with a British Lord, Frank Aungier Pakenham (the seventh Earl of Longford), after she was incarcerated.
