I thought too much screen time was wasted on Wilburforce's dull personal life at the expense of the real story; politics and money. The issue of slavery, though always present, was given sterile treatment and underplayed as a story element. Albert Finney, as the penitent ex-slaver Newton (who wrote the hymn the movie is named for), appeared only in a few brief scenes, and that was a real shame. Newton's story could have been woven into the screenplay as flashbacks, and would have added a lot.
