this be a stunning movie . raw and sublimely move . it felt like a very gripping and intelligent stage play ( but without the overly theatrical feel one actually get from watch people on a stage ) which play on everyone terror of a white lie escalate to monstrous consequence . all of the main player be mesmerise . tom wilkinson break my heart at the end . and everyone else judging by the amount of fumble for hanky and hand go up to face among male and female alike . julian fellowes have triumph again . he a national treasure . gosford park and vanity fair and mary poppins . and now this . can he do no wrong . go and see it . this be a film for real grown ups .
