wow .. a tour de force. Without spoiling the end, the twists & turns (at once subtle, but with devastating impact to reveal what's being unsaid; what's being held secret) make me want me to watch the film over again ..to re-appreciate - the story being told & the story tellers performances. BRAVO! ❤🙏🏽🇨🇦
This films story doesn't move quickly, but well worth watching. it leads you through the why, what and how. And the personalities of all of the people involved. Each character is well devolped and portrayed extremely well by the actors. No wonder it was award winning.
Wow. To misquote one of the great J.C.s, '"I've seen better films, I just don't remember when." I'm glad the local cinemas like to show mostly action movies, especially movies featuring comic book heroes. If there were more films like this, I wouldn't see the sun so often. Superbe in every way. Great story, great directing, and incredibly convincing acting.
Sadly, all too often lies told to "protect" someone become toxic. The missing element in this film was turning the corner to find forgiveness. The cast and crew all did superb jobs in telling this story.
Such a difficult situation for everyone involved, like a spider web, there's no escape until you tear it apart. Brilliant actors, very interesting story. Thanks for this gem.
The mother received a great gift. 2 gifts in fact. The first being her husband and father of her child was indeed not the man his sister in-law made him out to be and there wasn't anything horrible, that had happened, except a one night fling. The second gift was she wasn't building a relationship and new marriage on two lies. The daughter could crawl out of her victim prison she had built and healing could take place. The man has to come to grips with who he is and what he did and the lies he was living or not; it is his choice. Scarlet was the best thing, that happened to mother and daughter, despite her husbands infidelity. The truth really does set all free and each can come to their own self awareness.
I think that mother’s housband-to- be didn’t cheat on her, but he should have told her about the fling with her daughter, and not pretend nothing happened, and let it be believed David was an incestual abuser. When you love someone and want tot protect her, uou cannot be silent about important events.
Great to see a movie that brings to light the way our lives are affected by lies & omissions. The onset of depression, isolation, drug/alcohol use, etc. as played by the Amy character. Others present the illusion that all is fine, even though inside there is a knowing that something is very wrong and others who just don't want to know. If this movie is uncomfortable for you, maybe time for some honesty in one form or another.....
Mike,if your mom was falsely accused of molesting u ,when it was actually another woman who worked with her, shortly b4 she died,would u let every1 think your mom was guilty while the perpetrator was about 2 marry your dad?
Having recently been told a 30 year old secret that my sister held from me for my protection, I can relate to this wonderful movie. I'm trying to forgive my sister but I'm not there yet.
I'm also trying to do some stuff I have never even heard of. And that is a easy part. The hard part is that that stuff happened to me for five minutes in 1995, was something of this beautiful world and I feel it happened once and that is it. Take it easy, girl. Peace and happiness to you!
I usually do not watch British movies because the slow pace, but this was excellent. The sort of flick that makes you just want to sit and reflect for a while.
Not the type of film I usually see but quite beautifully made. The music really accompanies you through the movie, let's you know that something is not right. Really quite a touching film.
Great to see a movie that brings to light the way our lives are affected by lies & omissions. "Communication Is paramount to the success of any relationship". the inter-person relationships and how lies and omissions can wreck the very life out of ones lives. Others present the illusion that all is fine, even though inside there is a knowing that something is very wrong and others who just don't want to know. Reminds me of all the things in my family that were never discussed, aka, lies. Nice movie showing the harm lies and Denial of truth can do. Innocence Canada is a Canadian, non-profit organization dedicated to identifying, advocating for, and exonerating individuals convicted of a crime that they did not commit. In addition, prevent future injustices through legal education and reform. Yes cut & paste it works seeding love in the World
A very meaningful story about what lies can do to people to a family to everyone involved.As I found out about my own family secret after decades and YES it hurts it hurts a lot but when I faced it I could start over and to forgive and understand
Great job for an insight into the inter-person relationships and how lies and omissions can wreck the very life out of ones lives. Thanks so much for uploading such a beautiful movie
The truth and lies are not so easily found.Two people in the same room can hear and see different things.An expression on a persons face or the way that persons talks can convince.Interpret.I thought the film thought provoking.Interesting and very good Now tell me who is innocent?
British reserve at its best. However we're all guilty of it. For once I salute the American, forcing the issue out in the open in order to enable moving on. Life is too short, when it's filled with needless guilt. Good message. Thanks for posting.
Interesting movie. It touched on situations that happen to families everywhere and she was right, it's always best to tell the truth and lay the blame where it is due. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, absolutely, unless those who are to blame are personality disordered abusers. ;) They *always* punish to no end once called on their set-ups and corruption and abuses. Their behavioural patterns should be legally criminalised. They gleefully destroy health, relationships, opportunities, social lives, futures and much more. I do agree, @mama loves, but we need to get to know our abusers and self-protect before calling them out as well. :)
Halfway in I thought it was a Mike Leigh film and checked the info. Has a similar vibe and really captures a realistic awkwardness not normally captured by movies but many families have some of this dynamic.
So many layers to this. Not sure about the tell-all dictate being the best (and only) solution, but not correcting a lie/misconception is nearly as lethal as the lie itself - if not, more so.
Family "secrets" are very destructive. My family had many. I suppose this is universal. Good luck to those who are brave enough to bring to light dark secrets.
What a frustrating film! Lies, misunderstandings, untruths, dishonesty and lack of communication about the truth. Who was to blame? The daughter, the boyfriend or the aunt?
Very good film. I too discovered in a very bad way a family secret and it was painful but I prefer to know the truth because that faced me with reality. I had to learn to forgive . We do not know real love until we forgive and are forgiven and that is why to share the truth is so important.
The lead actress here playing Scarlet completely reminds me sooo much of Minnie Driver. All her expressions it's just like she is a double. really good though, i think.
She was right in the first scene...…"Communication Is paramount to the success of any relationship". This movie is an agonizing (and quite slow) study of a family that should have used a lot more honesty and communication...….and they paid the price on many levels for not doing so expediently. The viewer will enjoy this movie best if they can observe small nuances and THINK. The movie is OK for "one watch".....But it does not make "the cut" for me to want to see it again.
Not sure if it is really all about the importance of honesty and clear communication: Timing is another factor. The last scene indicates the possible suicide by Simon this time sort of returning what David had undeservedly paid the cost instead of him. Scarlet is returning to Amy’s house again next morning : She must have sensed the menace she has wrecked on the multiple people’s lives in ignorance and in the name of a holy chalice of Truth and Honesty ( Standing for young American civilization’s optimism and naïveté at the same time. She is literally a propagandist of this as shown in the first scene that she - a young energetic American preaching about it in Europe: a metaphor for the entire plot to be unfolded. ) I liked the open end : Would retuned Scarlet maneuver the same tactic of a blunt and brutal straightforwardness or would she find more subtle way to address the issue? After all “Not everybody has a privilege [like you]” and “ she doesn’t know anything about lives here.”
I just think the mother's role needed more conversation with daughter and step daughter. I mean she sat Scarlet down and said she wanted to talk to her, but ....just looked away after S sat down, and said nothing much! Same as she did the entire film
very well made, excellent script and acting - great London accents contrasting with the American. Just way too slow and dramatic (good for the stage), far too much tension and the mystery gets solved quite close to the end all in one shot. Worth watching, but have a pint while watching to relax your nerves.
Wonderful film. Great acting by all cast members, the storyline extremely poignant. With a similar style to Mike Leigh's film making, especially Secrets and Lies.
How do you say "Brilliant" in British speak - an American What did Eddie Izzard say ? "America and The United Kingdom.. Two countries divided by a common language" but in the end , i think, there came a universal truth. I loved this, thank you
Brilliant acting, brilliant script. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. The ending for me seems open so let's hope there will be another sequel.
You know when some covers band does a version of, say, a Rolling Stones or a Steely Dan number --- this film was like that but of Mike Leigh's HUUUUUUGE film SECRETS & LIES. That said, I quite enjoyed it and watched it right through, and say well done all involved - on your budget - you did great work.
wow .. a tour de force. Without spoiling the end, the twists & turns (at once subtle, but with devastating impact to reveal what's being unsaid; what's being held secret) make me want me to watch the film over again ..to re-appreciate - the story being told & the story tellers performances.

That was a deeply moving, thoughtful movie. It was sad & tragic & hopeful. Actors were superb.
Excellent movie. Lies ruin people's lives. The truth enables healing even if it takes a while. Thanks for uploading the film.
U must be related to the older sister! I wd have said that before the movie.
I can see why it got the award ..excellent and deeply moving .
Sadly, all too often lies told to "protect" someone become toxic. The missing element in this film was turning the corner to find forgiveness. The cast and crew all did superb jobs in telling this story.
i love the director's way of bringing tension...yes i see why it won a award!!
The plot of this film is fascinating - not what you'd expect. The tension keeps increasing as bits and pieces of half-truths come up to the light.
Such a difficult situation for everyone involved, like a spider web, there's no escape until you tear it apart. Brilliant actors, very interesting story. Thanks for this gem.

Hope you can do it, from far away i send you love and confidence!
Truth sets free,

An excellent film that cannot be easily forgotten
This movie was beautiful. Definitely set in reality.
I will watch it again. I will keep those reasons to myself.
What a staggering, heartbreaking movie, awesome. Breathtaking, stunning, in every way. Thanxxx very very much for sharing.

Congratulations; excellent movie, acting, music, timing... and much to learn about the importance of communication. Thank you.
communication is paramount!
Unexpected little beauty of a film. Very well done.
Glad I watched.
Great film for those who can see with their ears and hear with their eyes.
Now the viewer has to write their own next chapter. Excellent. Thank you for this powerful film.
Wow! Not too many movies are as real as this anymore.
It starts with a question and leads through a maze of talltales, misconception and jackrabbit turns to the answer.! Brilliant!
Good evening
I enjoyed this film I found it compelling and raw real it was deeply true in nature
You won't regret watching it
Interesting movie.
It touched on situations that happen to families everywhere and she was right,
it's always best to tell the truth and lay the blame where it is due.

KandakeAmanirenas_and_MatriarchalChoctaw true
I watched this film having no idea what it was about... So glad I did. The intricacies of thoughts about family affairs and secrets...
Excellent movie..Harriet's lively acting stands out in this movie..
This movie raises very sharp question and it also gives the answer , but it leaves a doubt if it is a right answer.
Halfway in I thought it was a Mike Leigh film and checked the info. Has a similar vibe and really captures a realistic awkwardness not normally captured by movies but many families have some of this dynamic.
So many layers to this. Not sure about the tell-all dictate being the best (and only) solution, but not correcting a lie/misconception is nearly as lethal as the lie itself - if not, more so.
Great Shakespearian like drama with perfect authentic acting and a wonderful musical enhancement.
musical? SEE YYYA!!!🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃
How real it felt, so deep n relatable. Thanks fr this amazing movie. Honestly, honesty is life.
So well written and played. A story I will remember.
Really great movie deserving the awards...had to watch it twice to make sure I got it all together even the minor details...
Family "secrets" are very destructive. My family had many. I suppose this is universal. Good luck to those who are brave enough to bring to light dark secrets.
What a frustrating film! Lies, misunderstandings, untruths, dishonesty and lack of communication about the truth. Who was to blame? The daughter, the boyfriend or the aunt?
So lovely! Loved every subtle expression that spoke a hundred words!
Very good film. I too discovered in a very bad way a family secret and it was painful but I prefer to know the truth because that faced me with reality. I had to learn to forgive . We do not know real love until we forgive and are forgiven and that is why to share the truth is so important.
Great film and a tough topic well handled. Also how cultural differences affect the way we deal with situations.
Great movie and great acting! Thank you for uploading it.
GREAT acting really! Thank you to you all and for uploading.
The lead actress here playing Scarlet completely reminds me sooo much of Minnie Driver. All her expressions it's just like she is a double. really good though, i think.
Very good movies...excellent acting ...strong story and full of emotions - loved it!
Wow!
I didn’t see that coming!
I thought the movie was done well. It kept me hanging in there, even with the long pauses with the facial expressions.
Great film, great acting, thank you
She was right in the first scene...…"Communication Is paramount to the success of any relationship". This movie is an agonizing (and quite slow) study of a family that should have used a lot more honesty and communication...….and they paid the price on many levels for not doing so expediently.

The movie is OK for "one watch".....But it does not make "the cut" for me to want to see it again.
well, why would you see it again. it s not the Bible.
It's not the bible!!I haven't seen that film.Is it any good?
Quality Indie film, good watch and well worth the hour and a half running time!!
Really good. Enjoyed it more the second time. Waking David is a keeper..
Thank you for uploading it. Wonderful movie!
Excellent movie! Great Acting and story telling. It seems boring in the beginning but as the story unveils it becomes worth the wait.
Really good! Wonderful musicians as well!
This is a great moive! it was slow in the beginning BUT it is worth to watch it! I am going to ask my friends to watch it too!! Thanks ya!
