The Marchioness Disaster is an intriguing piece, a TV movie that dives into that tragic night on the Thames in '89. It’s not flashy, but it’s quite raw in its approach to telling the story of the collision between the Marchioness and the Bow Belle dredger. The pacing has a somber, methodical build-up, echoing the weight of the events it depicts. The atmosphere is thick with tension and a sense of inevitability, heightened by the practical effects used to recreate the river’s chaotic moments. Performances are grounded, capturing the real-life emotions of the victims’ families. What stands out is its respect for the subject matter, trying to grapple with the human cost and the aftermath rather than sensationalizing the disaster itself.
