User Review
I loved it!
Rating: 9/10
I saw this film today at the Toronto International Film Festival and I
really liked it. I was pleasantly surprised by the unexpected plot (it
didn't match my expectations based on the mini summary I read prior to
seeing the film)....I won't elaborate since it will spoil the film for
others. The only reason I give a 9 rating instead of 10 is that there
were a few unrealistic and sometimes too predictable scenes, but this
really didn't detract from the overall movie experience. The
cinematography is really wonderful and the use of color and locations
is really quite wonderful as well. I really enjoyed the panoramic views
of the city of London. Anyway, compliments to new director on the
scene, Ol Parker. I hope we see more from you in the near future!
