    Plot: When a tragic incident occurs, a man living a mundane life sees his past come back to haunt him. Following on from that, a series of events makes him question in current lifestyle.

    I was really unsure whether to give this a go, as the content I was seeing in the trailer was on the borderline on whether it deserves to be seen on the big screen or not.

    In the end, I gave in. That was mainly due to the success of the book. That for me showed that there is a lot riding on this for a certain demographic.

    Everything moves along at a pretty gentle pace. The story takes a while to seriously develop. By the end of it, the ending really fits the title and I can see why it would be popular with a certain age bracket.

    Jim Broadbent still shows how good of an actor he is. His character is very entertaining to watch, you can definitely sympathise with him and Broadbent can still hold a film. It is great to see him being given such a well-rounded character, as Broadbent fully utilises it.
    Charlotte Rampling is wonderfully subtle in her role and the mystery her character possesses, gives Rampling such an engaging screen presence throughout.
    I must also give props to the minor and supporting roles by Harriet Walter, Michelle Rockery, Billy Howls, Joe Alwyn and Emily Mortimer.
    I think that if it wasn't for the great cast, then this could have incredibly unremarkable.

    As usual with books moving into films, you can see a lot of subtext being portrayed in the visuals. But it never ever hits as hard as it would do in the book.

    There is not that much to talk about from the technical aspects. Everything is perfectly fine, and yet none of it is outstanding.

    In the end, it's fairly entertaining and quite thought-provoking with plenty of good performances that keeps the story moving. There is some comedy to be had. But it only seemed to work in the second half. But I think in the end, it may be rather forgettable. It is probably due to the content not being as hard-hitting as it could have been.
