Rated 23 Apr 2021

It's safe to say that the 'PC brigade' (for want of a better term) would not permit this film to be made these days, which would be a shame. For while it is an uneven film, with tedious moments that that drag on too long, it is an interesting study of paternal love (Bruno's love of Virginia, Elizabeth and Ralph) and rapidly developing dementia. As a viewer, you are forced to struggle with the underlying and 'inappropriate' sexual tension between the main players.
