    Storyline

    Edit
    The intimate, intense and loving story of Hope Gap charts the life of Grace, shocked to learn her husband is leaving her for another, after 29 years of marriage, and the ensuing emotional fallout the dissolution has on their only grown son. Unraveled and feeling displaced in her small seaside town, Grace ultimately regains her footing and discovers a new, powerful voice. —AnonymusB

    • Goofs
      There is a jar of Marmite (a savoury spread popular in the UK) on a shelf in the kitchen. It alternates between two orientations: it is side-on when Bill Nighy is in close-up but when Annette Bening is also in view the back of the jar is turned to the camera.

    Pretty powerful
    The plot is pretty powerful. It tells how a woman is in denial about her marriage. Annette Bening just delivers a wonderful performance that makes you care about her. The scenery of coastal Britain is very beautiful too. This film is a good watch.
