Weisz nearly vibrates with tremulous emotion, and the British countryside - full of romping wolfhounds, droning vicars and ancient family retainers - feels like yet another old and welcome character in this old-fashioned yet modern Gothic
this complex, candid character study makes for compelling viewing, with staggeringly impressive character development that brings out two powerhouse performances from the lead stars Sam Claflin and Rachel Weisz
there's enough dark sizzle between leads Rachel Weisz and Sam Claflin to keep the audience involved through the underpowered middle stretches before the film regains its footing, delivering a disquieting shiver of a conclusion
the more explaining the script does, the less we're allowed to lose ourselves in the dark shadows of Weisz's performance, which is where the character's sense of dimension comes from in the first place
