Pretty damn disappointing.
Andrew Scott is such a great actor. His body language, delivery of lines and emotional connection to the parts he's playing are a joy to watch.
It's just too bad the material he's been given here is so lacklustre that I ended up feeling a sense of frustration when it ended. You can do a lot of things when the camera is pointing at one person - in the case of Scott. But the stories are unfinished, the tension doesn't add up and secrets are essentially left unrevealed, leading to a disappointing finale.
The same can be said for The Hope Rooms, another short featuring Scott. The actors were good and ready to make a brilliant short film, but it never really got to that mark for me.
