Sensitive artist Sophie is having a tough time getting over the loss of her mother. When things start happening, it appears she maybe targeted by her husband's dishy new colleague Mara who has her eyes on hubbie. Or could she be imagining it? So that's it - is she paranoid because she's going crackers, or because she has a reason to be paranoid? This basic notion has served many films very well, and Susan Sarandon and Sam Neill are pros.
But there are two fatal flaws here. One, this film is slow, boring and dull. And, two, it is saddled with a preposterous and unnecessary twist in the tail. Emily Blunt (Mara), not one of my favourites, has been better in subsequent films.
Watch it if there is nothing else on, but don't be surprised if you nod off.
