Intellectually more interesting than emotionally

Warning: Spoilers
Moody murder mystery set during the early days of the Blitz. As people huddle in bomb shelters someone is going around killing well placed people. Who is doing it and why? Could it be the kindly tobacco salesman? Off beat film has mood and an odd plot that keeps you watching but there is something off about it that makes it more an intellectual candy than an emotional one. I like the film but I don't love it, part of the problem is the film is talky and oddly paced. The things that make it intellectually intriguing are the same things that make it prickly.

If you want a mystery that doesn't feel like any other this is it. If you want one that is warm and snuggly this isn't it.

definitely worth seeing for the intellectual intriguing nature of it.
