[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.

Times (UK)

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.

This is an underrated movie in my opinion. The acting was fantastic. Andrew Scott was very believable as an awkward, simple man driven to solve a mystery. Some reviewers didn't understand why he had the drive to find the answers but they weren't following the movie and character close enough to see that this obsessiveness was part of his nature and from his own life trauma's where no one bothered to care. I do believe there is underlying theme here lost on some viewers as well - that the simplest person in the room is often the wisest most moral person - "Out of the mouth of babes" comes to mind when I think about the premise of this movie. Andrew's Scott's conveyance of his character's loss of innocence as he discovered the depravity of those around him was also spot on.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
