A real surprise this one. suspenseful and a little bit disturbing. also features the excellent and underrated actor anton lesser.well worth a look.

A really great film and highly entertaining. The story was exciting and full of suspense considering the number of actors (5 with the baby). A strange plot that worked really well. The acting was superb BY EVERYONE, and the filming, the setting, and the minimalistic and dark nature of... well everywhere... including the garage, was clever.

Highly recommend this unusual British psychological movie. Gave it a 9 because I think the ending needed further explanation although I THINK I got it! 🤔

No, it's not, so it doesn't get a pass. All the usual hackneyed, cliches associated with this plot... yes, we've seen it before, done a lot better ('The Forgiven', for a start, and the scene from Michael Clayton too, off the top of my head) - A couple coming home at night commit a hit and run, then argue about it, the man is clearly abusive and a bit drunk; visited by the local cop who is not what he seems blah blah. The stars I've given go to Olivia Bonamy, whose performance is the only redeeming feature here. When I watched the opening act of this travesty, I saw all of the traits I dislike in student films - bad acting, heavy handed direction - Avoid.

Let me point at the outset that the description of this movie is quite inaccurate. It says, "A dark psychological thriller which follows a couple who find themselves in a hit and run situation, with the evidence suggesting there was no accident." Well, the first part about the accident is quite true, but the second part - that there was no evidence to suggest there had been an accident - is completely false. In fact, it's no spoiler because, in the very beginning, they show the glasses with strands of hair clearly indicating someone had been hit. But maybe the writer is too focused on the car which indeed shows no signs of having hit anybody or even anything. But that's no doubt just poor direction, because the couple itself has no doubt that they had hit someone. Long story short, this is an *extremely* boring movie, with practically no sensible point to it.

A silly, pretentious theatrical play that has been made into a silly, pretentious movie. I guarantee that you will be bored senseless within the first 15 minutes. When some actual action finally occurs, your boredom won't be alleviated.

In addition, there are many inexplicable aspects to the story that are never explained. I suppose the writer thought he or she was being "artistic." Well, here, "artistic" means banal and uninteresting.

This is one of those films that will never make it into theaters, and I doubt if it even got much coverage on the festival circuit.

Do yourself a favor and pass this one up.
