Sunday Safe Betearly ratingWhy it’s a Sunday Safe Bet
It earned strong reviews (74% on Rotten Tomatoes), though it had a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz. A safe bet when you want something reliable.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- One for anyone who loves trying to stay one step ahead and anyone looking to switch off and smile. Easy company after a long day. Same wavelength as The Sixth Sense or We Need to Talk About Kevin.
- The mood
- Funny with heart, tense.
- The pace
- Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 20 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.
Set over the course of a single evening at the Reynolds’ family home in Connecticut, Clara, fed up with the constant ribbing from her self-absorbed showbiz family, finds solace in and guidance from the supernatural force she believes is haunting her.
