» If you studied archaeology or enjoyed stories about discovering long lost artefacts and unearthing secrets that have been hidden under the ground, then the new British period drama The Dig might actually be worth your time. The Dig is based on the 2007 novel of the same name by John Preston, and is the second directorial effort by Australian filmmaker Simon Stone. The film reimagines the events of how an archaeologist embarks on the historically significant excavation of Sutton Hoo in the late 1930s, the grave of an Anglo-Saxon king. While at distance, the film may look beautiful and features a parade of well-known performers such as Carey Mulligan, Ralph Fiennes and Lily James, the film somewhat suffers from the lack of focus and good execution.
