Compulsion

Anjika Indrani (Parminder Nagra) is a young Cambridge graduate, happy and settled with her loving boyfriend. However, Anjika's contented freedom is shattered when her strict father tries to force her into an arranged marriage of convenience. Feeling trapped and desperate she makes the life-altering decision to turn to her father's shady employee Don Flowers (Ray Winstone) for help. But Don doesn't want money in return for his services, he wants Anjika, and he's prepared to capitalise on her desperation to ensure he gets her. After their illicit encounter, Anjika feels compelled to go back for more, and soon their secret relationship becomes a full-blown passionate affair. COMPULSION is a gripping, seductive drama that will take you to the edge of obsession, with deadly consequences.

    Great Drama

    Really cracking drama, watched it on tele last night. Winstone, as always is brilliant but seriously warped. Well worth watching, exc acting with a good storyline.

    Stereotypes and bad writing!

    I watched with eagerness when I realised Ray Winstone appeared ... but was so disappointed. Ray Winstone was certainly there in body but not soul... maybe it looked better on the page than the screen. It left me once again shouting at the screen that I could write better than this! Maybe I should put pen to paper now and stop more of this twaddle! The characters were cartoonish stereotypes, the main actress was terrible and Winstone was totally wasted. Also the ending was ridiculous .... really!

Julianne Moore plays Barbara Daly, a former actress who married above her station. Brooks Baekeland (Stephen Dillane) is an upper-class Brit who never tires of bemoaning the fortune his inherited from his grandfather, who invented Bakelite plastic.... Read more
