The Stranger in Our Bed

The film is a 15 there are no "gratuitous sex scenes" in fact the sex in this film is some of the least "risqué" i've seen in a long time. You see more in "Emily in paris" or "Sex education" on netflix.

The film itself is a really good British story, acted very well by the actors and delivered in a good pacing. There where a few moments where as a viewer you would yell in your head! "call the police" but these moments i guess are to help drive along the plot.

There is a trigger warning i must offer that if you are affected by domestic violence there are scenes in this that are very well done and realistic and although kept in as good a taste as possible, i can certainly see how someone may be triggered by it.

Over all it was well written, well acted, well edited, FANSTASTIC score and music on all scenes. The Pacing lost itself but the ending was strong with an almost "post credits" type ending.

I am recommending to friends to watch to discuss as its been a while in a sea of blockbusters to find a little gem to talk around the table with a glass of wine!

I've seen Before I Go To Sleep so many times and I just realized that the plot is quite familiar despite having a slightly different setting, backgrounds and motives (the aforementioned film is based on the novel as well). An unhappy married couple, a woman wants to get away with it and uninspiring way to end her misery. That's basically Before I Go To Sleep with wealthy backgrounds, mother in-law intervention and witnessing a crime scene. No big names who starred in this film bar the mother in-law who was Miss Moneypenny in Brosnan-era Bond film. Finding out that the leads are actually married in real life while being abusive and manipulative in this film feels so surreal.

British thriller film produced in 2022. The film is about a woman who married an unstable but very rich man and tries to get rid of him. The man really wrote the book of repugnance. It's like a made-for-TV movie. Acting is very unprofessional. The script is very familiar. The worst part is that the mind of the viewer is being mocked. I'm sure the IMDB rating will drop as you watch. The best thing in the movie is the leading actress. I do not recommend the movie. For better ones, my suggestion would be "Unfaithful" and "Before I Go To Sleep".

There are no nudity or sexually explicit scenes in the movie.

Samantha Lee Howe wrote the book the movie is based from which has the same name along with the screenplay apparently even though she is not credited for it.

The writer specialty is Thrillers and claims it is based from a true story which I am still trying to find out what actual story. Either way it hit a nerve especially with women.

It did have some twists that I did not expect along the way and who doesn't like seeing the wealthy having to bicker?

Worth the read or the watch especially if you enjoyed the book.

I'm extremely keen on watching all kinds of movies in all genres, and at last count I've watched around 30,000 movies. The truth is that this one had a good premise, but surely the screenwriter "forgot" to give some pages to the director and he didn't notice. Or else the editor received an unfair salary and "murdered" the film in the Final Cut ( sorry for the infamous joke ) The "Hitchcockian" touches excited me at first, until I realized it was a cheap copycat that didn't see all of the Master's work from Suspense. The plot has dozens of loose ends, the main actress confuses "indifference" (which she showed in the film) with "I'm confused about what's going on". Don't waste time watching, run away!
