Production
editWilkinson was interviewed by The Guardian during production. He stated that he was making a documentary for cinematic release rather than TV broadcast because "I would be forced to put the leavers’ side as well. That's not what the film is about. It's about solely championing [remainers]."[2]
Reception
editA reviewer for The Times wrote that it "gives voice to the fears and the hopes of the nation's discontented remainers".[3] A reviewer for The Guardian wrote that "Wilkinson gathers and binds a pretty much unarguable case for persisting in trying to overturn Brexit."[4]
Release
editPostcards from the 48% had a test screening in the EU Parliament in Brussels on 10 April 2018 and opened on 23 June 2018 at the Edinburgh International Film Festival.[5] The film went on general release in the UK on 6 July 2018. It was released on DVD on 1 October 2018.[citation needed]
