SORRY I’VE TAKEN SO LONG. I was watching Doctor Who with mother dearest. 

ANYWHO - TINKER TAILOR SOLDIER SPY. IN A NUTSHELL.

The acting was flawless, the cinematography was beautiful and very effective, the music was stunning. Gary Oldman deserves every award that there ever was. As does Benedict Cumberbatch. And the entire cast.
My only criticism (and this may be due to my lack of intelligence) is that there were some aspects of the plot that weren’t adequately explained. While it is based on a novel and many of those who see this film will have read it, a film is made for a film audience, regardless if they have prior knowledge or not. While overt exposition can be detrimental to effective dialogue and film quality in general, the delicacy with which this screenplay was put together indicates that these talented writers could have explained a few finer, vital points without compromising the films flow and [very near] perfection.
