      80% 10 Reviews Tomatometer 75% Fewer than 50 Ratings Audience Score SARAH and TOM are in terrible financial trouble. On the brink of losing everything, they've managed to find a buyer for their stylish London home. When their best friends RICHARD and BETH come round for a final dinner, an uninvited old friend, JESSICA, tags along. After a seemingly trivial argument, Jessica hangs herself in the garden. Tom goes to call the police when Sarah realizes if the buyer finds out, the sale will collapse, meaning definite financial ruin.

      Ed Potton Times (UK) The film may be full of holes but it’s highly quotable. Rated: 3/5 Apr 3, 2024 Full Review Cath Clarke Guardian What the movie does have going for it is a terrific performance by Shirley Henderson... Rated: 3/5 Apr 2, 2024 Full Review MaryAnn Johanson Flick Filosopher The pleasures of this black comedy about London real estate and the hypocrisies of posh professionals lie in the terrific cast, especially Shirley Henderson, embodying entertainingly horrible people. Rated: 3/5 Apr 12, 2024 Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall Mixing slapstick with dark drama, this offbeat British film is tricky to connect with on a satisfying level. But that seems to be intentional, as director Matt Winn delights in putting his characters through a moral and legal wringer. Rated: 3/5 Apr 9, 2024 Full Review Andrew Murray The Upcoming Despite its alluring premise and fantastic cast, the trouble with this film is that it unfortunately falls short of delivering on its initial promise. Rated: 2/5 Apr 7, 2024 Full Review Brian Viner Daily Mail (UK) All this is presumably meant as a satire on the middle classes, but actually the big middle-class joke is the film itself: clunkily theatrical, with horrible, complacent characters... Rated: 1/5 Apr 5, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
