“Just saw this on Artificial Eye DVD. Well acted and tightly written, this movie is strangely simple and plain – and captivating. It had some unnecessary character-standing-and-staring- sequences, but overall the rhythm was good. It seemed realistic and there was some real suspense too. Itu0026#39;s also contemporary story in which young professional couple moves to the country side for a hope of a simpler lifestyle.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eClaire Foy is amazingly sweet in this, very fragile and very beautiful. Benedict Cumberbatch is a believable troubled teacher and Shaun Evans sympathetic as the little brother. Liked the overall cast. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eGood indie movie.”
