Tamzin Rafn's one and only screenplay doesn't do anything particularly original but has some depth and character and moves along. It's aided by great performances from Felicity Jones, Jessica Brown Findlay and Sebastian Koch (Homeland, Bridge of Spies, The Lives of Others). With Julia Ormond, Harry Treadaway (who seemed familiar but isn't really unless you count Fish Tank) and Peter Vaughan.
Felicity was an old pro by this time having appeared in several leads (the most recent being Chalet Girl). But it was Jessica's feature debut and no doubt helped her secure her role in Downton.
Filmed on the Isle of Man.
