After a slow star the film picked up, a nice twist for the film ending and the cast blended well together.
This movie has a great cast and a great script. I didn't see any glaring technical flaws in the first run through watching it. It was really slow to start, so slow I nearly turned it off. If you can get past the first 25 minutes of build up, the rest of the movie is well worth it.
Contains a plot spoiler or two.Justin (Stephen Campbell Moore) and Kate (Clémence Poésy) are expecting their first child after 10 years of marriage. Kate is distant from her mother (Deborah Findlay) and looks at a picture of her brother of which we know nothing about. Meanwhile, what appears to be the perfect couple moves in downstairs. Theresa (Laura Birn) is from Germany and her husband Jon (David Morrissey) is an international banker. He doesn't appear to be as nice. She is also expecting.PLOT SPOILER PART: Circumstances cause Theresa to lose her child and a rift occurs between couples. However, they make nice, Theresa babysits and goes Rebecca De Mornay all over the film. Now at this point the film could turn out two or three ways and they chose the lazy ending.The actors really put themselves into the script which failed to create the real thriller and suspense film this could have been.Guide: F-word. Sex. Blurred preggo nudity. Close up breast feeding. Rebecca De Mornay was better.
It is a below average thriller if you consider the theme. I mean most of those TV movies of the 90's covered this topic, or at least a similar one.A pretty modern take on a "classic" topic, with good acting, pretty good script and some nice camera-work and composition.Not bad for a debut film, it keeps you guessing throughout, makes you think what twist will it be in the end.As far as character development is concerned i think the director did a pretty good job in delivering close to 3 dimensional characters that you might care for.
