Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
Rijndri Load of rubbish!!
Stephan Hammond It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
theappletree A complex story certainly. The twists and turns take you across decades with much of the story told in flashback. I found this adaptation to be extremely atmospheric and well acted.In summary, the quality of the production is high, and the story will hold your interest. The acting is first-rate.The journey to the story's resolution is satisfying even if the resolution itself is not completely so.
Huw Lansdown To start with I liked the fact that there was so much mystery, so much we didn't know that needed to be explained... but it turned out it was just the manipulative leading woman deceiving everyone close to her about about everything important in their lives, including lying to her charming daughter about who her real parents were and the fact that the man she thought was her father was a double murderer. I hung on to the end, looking forward to her getting her just deserts only to see her end up with everything she wanted... great! Two hours wasted watching an evil, deceitful murderer get everything she wanted in life. Presumably we should all go out and follow her example?
