Audience Member look, I live in Bath so this film is a joy to my eyes. it's not the best, but it's interesting and engaging. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/13/21 Full Review Audience Member Val Guest's interesting blend of domestic drama and medical thriller is certainly a very British film, which means it can be pretty stiff. There are some strong elements - strong performances, an effective atmosphere with great black and white cinematography - but it's just too dry to be consistently compelling. A handsome production, but far from Guest's best work. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member I ended August watching this film. The backdrop of an epidemic was an interesting way to discuss marriage and divorce. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Watched it 4 the 1st time last week. Fantastic! Have to say that i did guess the ending tho!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
