Reviewed of course several times previously, latterly here. Sorry Woody, but I now have gone back on thinking the murder-to-opera scene doesn't really work! What a noodle!
I don't think the meeting scene between Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Scarlett Johansson is too reminiscent of the meeting in A Place in the Sun, but actually the whole film is a bit like that film in plot - a socially climbing man commits murder when his lover becomes pregnant.
Very well acted by Matthew Goode, Penelope Wilton, Brian Cox, Emily Mortimer (especially natural), James Nesbitt, Ewan Bremner. I noticed Zoe Telford in bit part as secretary, but identified her as Andrea Riseborough (not for the first time).
One of the few films Woody was entirely satisfied with how it turned out.
