Stephen Butchard (Good Cop, Five Daughters) adapted Ian McEwan's 1987 novel. Benedict Cumberbatch and Kelly Macdonald are good as the couple who have lost their child, as is Stephen Campbell Moore as his old friend (the series of events leading to his suicide are a bit weak to me) and Saskia Reeves as his wife. It's consistently intriguing, and well put together.
The music is by Adrian Johnston and it was shot by David Odd.
Features a great speech delivered by Benedict in favour of child literacy.
