As a story it somehow it could have been considered a little dated, like it could have been made in the Eighties, closeted husband sleeps with wive's younger brother yada yada. In truth though it's actually a decent film, the story does grab you, it unfolds well, and the acting is excellent. I thought Suzanne Collins was excellent as wronged wife Jane. Daniel Brocklebank, Jonny Labey etc all very good. It's depressing in tone, but in fairness contains some positive messages. Watchable, 8/10

This has got to be one of the worst films I've seen. It is so badly made, I was actually shouting "this is so bad!!" at my laptop. The camera work is so bad it's annoying; I don't know what type of tone or feel they were going for but the result is a mess of awkward angles, moving pointlessly back and forth and getting in the faces of the actors with absolutely no sense of framing. The sound design is non-existent and the few attempts at scoring are generic 'sad'/piano music, that not only add absolutely no sentiment at all, they also sound really bad. And that also applies to dialogue as well, which makes the whole thing look and sound very amateur. The script is so bad I can't stop thinking how it got approved or how people thought this kind of writing is good! To sum it up, it goes like this: -I just feel stressed and tired from it all -Why? -I don't knowThe repetition of lines like "where is this coming from?" and "why are you being like this?" only makes things worst and adds to an already messed up and poor script that sounds so basic and forced and fake that makes the whole thing really annoying to watch.In terms of plot, after one or so hours of the character's emotional ups and downs, it boils down to the consequences of unprotected sex and the use of condoms, which in this day and age is just old news.The actors do try their best and they are some genuine moments that unfortunately don't last for more than a few seconds. Massively let down by a script that simply does not work, they end up trying to convince you how sad they are, or how confused with lines like...well, see above. I can go on and on as I still can't believe how badly made this is and how amateur it looks and sounds; OK, maybe they didn't have the biggest budget ever and I get that but still, that's not an excuse for the complete and utter lack of a convincing narrative, emotional investment and quality of film making.

The underlying premise is unique, a 22 year old is having a love affair with his sister's husband, but throughout the film their is confusion in the message, unnecessary clichés, and bad acting from all but Suzanne Collins (Jane, the wife). The dynamic between Jules and David is the first thing the audience is introduced to, the film starts two years into their affair but doesn't offer an interesting backstory or any real explanation about why they are in love.Then it cuts to the least fun looking gay bar, where David meets a new guy and they take drugs, have sex then (after a strange 5 minute montage) are in love. Then the film drags on until the predictable dramatic ending, which could have been made a lot more dramatic. I was hoping for a 'Dr.Foster' type event but the payoff just wasn't there. Also, suddenly the husband goes from thinking he is straight to being gay. There was no aspect of the husbands struggle with his sexuality, or any mention of bisexuality. It would have been a great opportunity to mention that, it is something that is frequently ignored in LGBT+ cinema. I did think that the way the truth was forced out was new, with David finding out that the affair has caused him to get HIV. Personally, it felt way too much like a feature length soap opera and had no real character development. I found myself occasionally skipping forward 2 or 3 minutes just to get to the end of it. A very dramatic story, but the script was written in the least dramatic way possible.

Wooden acting, terrible scouse accent, it looked like a film by a bunch of high school students who wrote the script that morning. I lasted four minutes and had to turn it off.Such a shame, when the description sounds like an interesting dynamic between central character and his sister's husband. And when there's clearly some good people involved, judging by the credits. But ruined by terrible acting, cringe-worthy accents, low production values and general awfulness.Definitely a film to avoid.Don't waste your money on it.
