Dance's directorial debut isn't exciting, but it's deeply felt and engagingly acted. Why doesn't he take more advantage of the story's opportunities for fine music, though?

Charles Dance's début feature is an impressive achievement.

It is to Dance's considerable credit that he never lets the filmmaking overtake the understated storytelling.
