Rodriguez F Enjoyable movie, well acted good family entertainment Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/15/23 Full Review Paul W An enjoyable fairy tale, well acted and well cast Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/12/23 Full Review Isabelle It was ok, the acting was average, I don't think I'd watch it again. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/23/23 Full Review kate f Definitely a movie for grownups...thoughtful, intelligent, no car chases, drug deals, worth the time spent...I even had to halt the movie on Amazon Prime to prepare myself for ending, which could have gone in two different directions...glad I finished it. ;) for an equally good "grownup" movie...not "for Adults Only" watch Knives Out. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a quiet film that creeps up on you slowly, both with a profound charm and a growing foreboding. It juxtaposes big, global events with the minutiae of the lives of members of an English family. It succeeds in involving the viewer's own sense of morality as it builds connection and emotion to more than one of the story's characters. Indeed, by the end of the film I was quite ready to watch each separate story line. It's fantasy in a believable form. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member The cinematography, direction, acting and story are all excellent. This movie was a true surprise to me, besides being based on a Daphne Du Maurier I hadn't read. It kept us on the edge of our seats, and we were sad when it was over.
