enjoyed it for the always interesting performance of Tom Wilkinson.....

"It's a Choose Your Own Adventure as imagined by Jackie Collins." - Ed Gonzalez

The stuff of high drama is certainly present in abundance in the story, and with Tom Wilkinson, Emily Watson and Rupert Everett at the head of the cast list, Fellowes has actors skilled enough to make quiet intense emotions into something compelling to watch. The end result is tragically drab, however. It's a shoulder shrug of a movie right down to its ending which seems to profess complete ambivalence about everything that's come before.

Pretty good performances and a very clean and solid screenplay.
