With a box office flop, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- If you count yourself among anyone who likes watching an argument won and anyone with a complicated family (so, everyone), this one's for you. The best scenes are battles fought with words. Family ties get tested in ways that ring true.
- The mood
- Thoughtful and character-driven.
- The pace
- Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 27 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.
Ray, a twelve-year-old boy, must confront the British legal system when he is accused of murder.
