The film received mixed reviews from critics. Perhaps the only thing they could agree on was that it was a stellar cast, featuring Matthew McConaughey, Charlie Hunnam, Henry Golding, Michelle Dockery, Jeremy Strong, Colin Farrell and Hugh Grant. Some felt that Guy Ritchie had nothing new to say, while others looked wistfully back to his older films. There is no doubt that the film contains all the usual subjects: The Brain, the Thug, the Chinese, the Jew, the Lord, the Russian... Yet this is not a story about lowlifes. Two big fish - Mickey and Matthew - arrive from America after graduating from prestigious universities. Their accomplished accomplices include English aristocrats and Russian oligarchs. Behind the scams, brutality and assorted intrigues, a different kind of image of Britain emerges. At times, The Gentlemen resembles a murderous satire. Or a self-mocking tale, given that the story is presented to us as a screenplay by an investigative journalist. Through which the nature of the media is also revealed. It might just make you think for a moment: in the present day, hasn't the news machine become utterly indistinguishable from a part of showbiz? It is a funny yet above all thought-provoking film. Worthy of discussion.

In English, with Hungarian subtitles.
The discussions before and after the screening are conducted in Hungarian.
