janetclauser Not one person in this film had any sense of courtesy except the main character. He continually tries to be polite and everyone is rude to him. It was quite frustrating that he would not throw a comment back at them, his ex-wife, daughter, professor, ex-girlfriend, not one polite conversation that I saw. But then again I lost interest in the film.

nathanbv36 Excellent movie. The real drama, utilising all rules of this art!

george-pawlyszyn I was skeptical that a film could capture the essence and the mystery of the book. However I found it very satisfying. I am not sure how I would rate the film if I had not read the book. It is a simple story and indeed one could complain that its focus on white middle aged Londoners but that would be missing the point of the universality of the story. We all create the story of our lives through our memories and by using the plot device of such a traumatic awakening of forgotten memories causes us to consider the things we have remembered selectively. I am still unsure what the significance of the twist at the end adds to the message or the theme, except to add to the tragedy of situation and increase the guilt of the main character. As a film experience, the acting was first class and the pace and use of music well matched. As a final thought I would consider whether we should also draw lessons from Adrian's actions versus his earlier comments about suicide. A film that gives you prompt and room to think. A rarity these days and to be welcomed.

vishnu-dileep08 Summary (no spoilers)This movie is about a man who gets haunted by his past and is presented with a legacy which makes him rethink his whole current situation in life.My Review (no spoilers)The plot of this movie was above average with a slow start and a good ending. But a bit confusing it could have been explained in a much easier way. The genres suggest that this movie was a drama and mystery there was nothing much mystery about this movie but a good drama with a really good message shown to the viewers. What I learned from watching this movie was that even when you're really angry think before you react because the consequences can be unchangeable and really painful to us. The acting shown in this movie was really good by each of them.YES I would recommend people to watch this movie.My Rating 7/10
