Life of Deception - Reviews

...en afstemt, poetisk smuk og enigmatisk parforholdsthriller.

Durkin's script and direction are as economical and exact as they are compassionate and merciless...

This feels like the role that Jude Law was always meant to play.

This is a film that swerves away from categorisation.

...a chilly domestic melodrama bathed in the tones of horror, a tale of greed, ambition, deceit and disappointment.

...a seductive mystery...

It’s elegantly constructed and precisely composed...

...a piercing portrait of the breakdown of a relationship within the rooms and corridors of a huge manor house.

...gets fairly gripping thanks to its director's immense skill for composition and performance...

...well worth seeing just for its two central performances.

There’s beauty in the small moments of this downbeat and dark family drama.

...perhaps the first COVID-19/quarantine film without meaning to be. Its levels of isolation are deeply felt and highlighted by the lies we tell to ourselves or the ones whom we hold most dear.
