Like many people have already written here, the cover didn't speak well of the movie; but the movie spoke well of the movie...
Alex (Eddie Redmayne) is charged with murder...of a murder he did or didn't do? Alex begins telling forensic psychiatric Sally Rowe (Toni Collette) about Nigel, the dead schoolmate Alex is charged of murdering. Alex tells her about Nigel's behavior and relationship with Alex...and what deep roots both boys share. Rowe begins to dig in deep more- and finds a truth that is hard to believe, a truth that CAN'T be a truth. - with it's fascinating background (historically accurate or not), it catches you and doesn't want to let go. And the ending- don't get me started on it! With the twists and the truth springing out- you are in for some dark fun.
