TV movie - Like Minds review by TH
Despite a decent cast and fine acting from collette and Redmayne, this cant quite move itself beyond tv movie status.
The script is very basic and despite the potential to be something dark and interesting it never quite climbs out of the plodding drama it really is.
With a better story and sharper script this could of been a much better film.
