- An occasionally insightful drama of adultery and hurtful jealousy among the young and privileged that worked better on stage than it does on film.

  Horrific Language and sexual discussions
  
  Horrific language/ sexual discussions and appalling that it is rated a 15.
  
  A very good cast who have let themselves down.

  disturbing and rivetting
  
  I really enjoyed this film. Disturbing in places, it kept me on the edge of my seat as the characters fought to keep their world from falling apart

  naughty but intriguing
  
  If you like plays this will work for you. Didn't really like any of the characters, but they played out an intriguing story - great acting.
