[Andrew] Scott here fascinates as a vulnerable yet remarkably resilient odd duck.

If it had simply lived in its mystery... than I think it would have been a more powerful movie.

The film, alas, despite [Andrew Scott's] best efforts, is dramatically inert and riddled with plot holes.

Rated: 2/5

Nightmare on Film Street

What elevates A Dark Place among other somber whodunits is our unsung hero's conviction for the truth.
