Great sense of time and place. Fine acting. A rather dour plotline does not make watching easy, but the reward is to see a fine piece of ensemble playing with plenty of emotional content. The ending is perhaps a little contrived but you need some relief at the end.

The antithesis of a movie, no action, a single set, but what an experience. You are watching actors playing actors yet these are real people displaying real emotions, and you are drawn into the world they inhabit. Very few directors would have attempted it.
