The movie is not so much about the solution to this crime, as about the ethics involved in taking responsibility. full review

Marcy Dermansky, About.com
The acting in this adult drama is uniformly superb, and it is rare that a film reveals the secret and unpalatable innards of married life so honestly. full review

Nick Schager, Filmcritic.com
a somewhat stuffy British production whose boilerplate melodrama leaves little room for a revelatory examination of selfishness, sneakiness, self-preservation, and sacrifice full review

Julian Fellowes makes a splendid debut as a director with this mesmerizing look at sex, lies and infidelity among the British upper crust. full review
