Agnes, taken for granted as a suburban mother, discovers a passion for solving jigsaw puzzles which unexpectedly draws her into a new world - where her life unfolds in ways she could never have imagined.
Juliet, Naked is the story of Annie (the long-suffering girlfriend of Duncan) and her unlikely transatlantic romance with once revered, now faded, singer-songwriter, Tucker Crowe, who also happens to be the subject of Duncan's musical obsession.
Based on Ian McEwan's novel. In 1962 England, a young couple find their idyllic romance colliding with issues of sexual freedom and societal pressure, leading to an awkward and fateful wedding night.
As her marriage to Jack flounders, eminent High Court judge Fiona Maye has a life-changing decision to make at work - should she force a teenage boy, Adam, to have the blood transfusion that will save his life? Her unorthodox visit to his hospital bedside has a profound impact on them both, stirring strong new emotions in the boy and long-buried feelings in her.Written by

Throughout the film, her clerk and others address Fiona as 'my lady'; in reality they would simply call her 'judge'. 'My Lady' is a term of address used only in court. See more »
Quotes
Jack Maye:
Look, you wanna live like this? Fine. I don't. I'm going to have this affair.
Fiona Maye:
And a divorce and the child I've failed to give you?
Jack Maye:
No. No divorce, no deception, no lies. I love you and we're meant to be together but... look, I could have gone behind your back.
Jack Maye:
Oh, how very kind. I can't believe how cool we are. Open marriage. The time to suggest that, Jack, was before the wedding, not twenty years afterwards.

Never before have I gone to a screening of a film just to see if it was going to be just OK, in fact I nearly didn't go.
How wrong I was, I cannot remember a film that has has such an emotional impact on me.
It's a very powerful intelligent and moving film with stunning performances from Emma Thompson & Fionn Whitehead and if Emma doesn't receive awards for her performance alone then there's something seriously wrong.
If you like intelligent thought provoking films, go and watch this on the big screen, I promise you'll not be disappointed.
