    Tense, kinetic, intelligent and real – as if Paul Greengrass had remade Vera Drake.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 80 Damon Wise
    A hard film to love, but a hypnotic meditation on all the elements -- gossip, religion, bullying -- that can turn a parish and country bad.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 80 Damon Wise
    More than a fascinating misfire, it’s a rare and telling glimpse into a legendary filmmaker’s fiercely guarded soul.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 60 Damon Wise

    • 64 Metascore
    • 40 Damon Wise

    • 80 Damon Wise
