    Cut it in half and Son of the Century would be a potent portrait of a pathetic monster, brilliantly performed and striking to look at. .... If only this series could have stuck to its point.

    Joe Wright’s strange, heavily stylised but theatrically compelling take on Il Duce’s rise and fall relies on Luca Marinelli’s virtuoso lead performance for most of its dramatic force.
