...it borrows not just a premise and passages of sharp dialogue from its source material, but also the barbed efficiency of the short-fiction format...

I most admire Haigh’s use of golden oldies, including era-appropriate selections picked by Kate to play during their party, that provide telling yet unobtrusive commentary.

Music, too, is terrifying: old tunes with intense associations will occasionally come on the radio – songs that must either be loyally sung and danced along to, or firmly turned off.

...a brilliantly modulated character study of lives thrown off-kilter by a slowly expanding secret.

...ett lågmält men under ytan brutalt och bittert äktenskapsdrama som tål att mäta sig med verk av europeiska mästare från Fassbinder till Todd Haynes.

Et kammerspil, hvor øjnenes spil, et drag ved munden, en skæv bevægelse, er nok til at udtrykke smerte og følelse af fortvivlelse.

Rampling evner fabelagtigt at formidle modsatrettede følelser på samme tid i rollen som konen, hvis grasserende jalousi giver hende dårlig samvittighed...

...en av de mest exakta och otäcka berättelser man kan ta del av kring äktenskapets gråzoner och halvsanningar...

Charlotte Rampling and Tom Courtenay are on top form in Andrew Haigh’s devastating relationship drama.

...Rampling isn’t chilly: She’s precise, and her brilliant precision is essential to a story that is as much about the words that aren’t spoken as the ones that are.

This story is about whether secrets can be survived, whether the knowing or not knowing is more injurious. Haigh’s very fine, classically modulated film keeps these questions alive until literally its last shot...

There’s no room to hide, and Courtenay and Rampling are at the top of their game throughout, drawing us into their hopes and fears even as we watch them from a distance.

...a sensational Charlotte Rampling as its lead, the movie combines Haigh’s perceptive style with shades of Mike Leigh’s “Another Year” to create a quietly moving and deceptively tragic look at aging romance haunted by past mysteries.

Det er en klog, elegant og inderligt seværdig film, der hverken fremstår højtravende eller skinger.
