Film Reviews by DW

The opening credits were fine but it went downhill from then on. Slow, plodding, some poor acting, little better than a poor made-for TV experience.

The screenplay was by the author of his book in the same name; the book gets some good reviews but it is obviously not a successful transfer to the screen.

Why do people bother to produce this sort of old tosh?

A nice little British "film" created by bolting together two hour-long ITV episodes. Not so much a "whodunnit", more a "whydunnit". The delicate frailties of family life are dramatically exposed.

An understated performance by the always-watchable Nicola Walker (playing a cop yet again) so we don't see her full range of acting mannerisms that are so enjoyable to watch.
