I quite agree this is a fantastic story and contains all of the elements that run through relationships of this type. Marc Warren steals the show with a performance that gives the right level of menace. Anyone with an ounce of sensitivity would be moved. It is a travesty that this title is not available in general. I would love to own a copy in any format, but probably never will. The BBC produce a lot of fodder for the general public yet still miss releasing gems like this. If anyone thinks that they can persuade the powers that be to get this title onto DVD then please do so. Marc's major work since then has been the Hustle series, a very different story, but in which he is equally excellent and supported by other excellent performances including those of the veteran actor Robert Vaughan.

I'm talking about the British/Canadian co-produced film titled: "No Night is Too Long". I live in Mexico City and on May 8th, on one of my cable TV channels --"The Film Zone", I just happened to catch/watch/discover this wonderful movie masterpiece, though it came out in 2002. I ask you: why can't the damn BBC be just a tad more money-minded?:-) By commercializing films of this superb quality --and many others such as the BFI's "Sixth Happinness" -- AND ADDING SUBTITLES IN Spanish, they would not only earn considerable and well-deserved revenue, they'd also give enormous pleasure to millions of true lovers of cinema--worldwide....and that revenue would motivate the BBC to continue producing masterpieces and hence, continue to enthrall the world with its lifelong superb creations. And I stress "subtitles in Spanish" because, after English, Spanish is probably nowadays the 2nd most widely-spoken language in the world. Movie companies/producers who fail to see this reality are not only stupid and losing out on huge profits, worse yet, they're depriving millions of people of viewing entertainment options.Sincerely T

This truly terrific thriller scores in all departments. First and foremost is Lee William's stunningly intense and passionate central performance. He has completely internalized his complex character, bringing it to the screen with tremendous conviction in a display of faultless acting. Marc Warren, resembling a Malcolm Macdowell of younger days, doesn't quite have the same grasp on his character, which at times loses credibility, but fortunately not enough to spoil the film. Mikela Mikael captures a lovely vulnerability so necessary for the plot to work.This is a thriller that works on all levels, which is an achievement few thrillers seem to attain. The plot twists are indeed unexpected and for the length of the movie the viewer is kept riveted to the unfolding story. The cinematography is of the highest level, especially with the amazing Alaskan seascapes but also the carefully shot interiors. Director Tom Shankland who put all this together is certainly a name to watch.Having no expectations or preconceptions about the film, plus the fact of these actors being completely unknown (well, to me anyway), made this one great surprise package. There are not that many classy thrillers around; if that's your pleasure you won't want to miss this one.

This film explores, then examines, the nature and presence of love but does not attempt to explain it. That is the hallmark of its success.From the opening sequence through the rolling credits, we are invited to believe that although gender and jealousy may present obstacles to true love, they will never defeat it. It is an invitation we cannot refuse.The plot for all its reliance on coincidence and remote possibility, serves to remind us that true love may be easy to recognize but difficult to find, in a world of increasing cynicism and heartbreak.Moreover, it encourages us to accept that the experience of true love defies logic and analysis but rather should be savored, for love, like life, is transient - in the face of time and changing circumstance.Most memorable line: `I love you, my adorable hedgehog. Never not.'
