Understated & anally-retentive in the English way (or is it just slow?). But good if you like that sort of thing - which I do. Juliet Stevenson is again in a movie about the grieving process (see Truly, Madly, Deeply) but this isn't funny! She's also in a red-hot sex scene (not for the prudish) which contains tremendous tension Begins with great shots of tourist Stonehenge followed by the lovely voice of Kathleen Ferrier (I think) then a murder. I'll tell you no more, I hope I've been helpful.
