Plot summary

Gail's agoraphobia keeps her inside where she escapes into romance novels. She shares a house with her Nan, recently back from the hospital. Gradually, they both try to reach out to each other to break their isolation. Rob plunges further into his addiction as a way of numbing his heartbreak over the death of his girlfriend. In his stupor, he dreams of embracing her again. Mr & Mrs Gladwin are going through a shift in their 60 year relationship. Years of resentment and unspoken truths have built a barrier between them that Mrs Gladwin, in her abiding love, tries to erode in little gestures.

The cinematography, with its blurry, faded palette gives

The cinematography, with its blurry, faded palette gives a slight air of fleeting unreality. Visually pleasing in the coldest, most claustrophobic way possible - matching the dissonant atmosphere of the film. But the actual content, while adequate, could have been elevated by actors of a higher quality.

Lol Crawley's cinematography is masterful and oddly ill-suited

Lol Crawley's cinematography is masterful and oddly ill-suited for Duane Hopkin's movie which is almost oppressively depressing. Hopkins never offers any remotely satisfying development of characters beyond the fact that each one is sort of hopelessly lost in addiction, phobia, rage of bitter depression. By the time the movie reaches its mid-point, the bleakness starts to feel like cinematic torture. Nothing about what is happening on the screen matches the lush and beautiful surroundings of what I think must be a lovely town in England. Yet, it would appear that every single person living there is either a depressed junkie or painfully old. Pointless waste of time.
