I don't know if we were in the wrong frame of mind to watch this but we didn't really enjoy what is essentially a filmed play about a man (Cillian Murphy) who embarks on an affair with the friend (Catherine Walker) of his wife (Eva Birthistle) after discovering that her husband (Andrew Scott) is terminally ill. What a shit.
No surprise then that O'Rowe started as a playwright - however he also wrote the screenplays for
Boy A and
Broken.
Cillian ends up screwing up his marriage and the affair and ends up with a totally inappropriate relationship with a surly waitress. If it's a comedy of manners, it isn't funny.
