Alain E @AlainE Dec 18, 2025 An excellent drama with a superb performance by the late great Tom Wilkinson. I would rate this as equivalent to In the Bedroom. The point of the movie is human interactions. If someone sees crime and mystery, they have completely misunderstood the movie. See more Madeline R @RT00765985 Oct 23, 2024 What a stupid story. Good acting, scenery and sets but thats about all. It is not a thriller or a mystery. The plot actually makes little to no sense in that I do not think people would act as they did in this film. A waste of time. See more Ron G @RT93051786 Oct 10, 2024 If this was a Universal Studios movie from the late '50s early '60s starring Lana Turner or Susan Hayward, it would probably work. But today it's just a bad soap opera wasting the talents of a great cast. See more Fiona S @RT76451171 Aug 1, 2024 Leave your suburban judgements on the couch. Julian Fellowes has sculptured a truly frightening portrait of why "the rich are different from you and me!" His script captures the absolute moral entitlement of the British upper class who always realise how much they have to lose when things go wrong. This strong belief is guided by character nuanced performances by all the leads. Don't be fooled by the seemingly immoral pivot decisions "not to tell". The ending is not lightweight as some say, it's heartbreaking. See more Marco M @RT40736272 Jul 23, 2023 Solid film with great performances. See more isla s @RT89656869 Sep 4, 2022 This is a pretty average thriller about upper class people (the fact its co-written and directed by Julian Fellowes of 'Downtown Abbey' fame was a bit of a give away). I wasn't too bothered about the characters and didn't find the story too engaging, though I did think Emily Watson gave a good performance. At first I thought I'd guessed the outcome and felt quite clever but I'm not sure it's as simple as I'd assumed. I didn't feel entirely bothered to follow all the sub plots. It comes across a bit like an extended drama show, only without much to compel me to want to find out what happens in the end really... there is somewhat of a twist by the end but its all pretty average, so I wouldn't go out of tyour way to watch it as such, no.
