User Reviews

Enjoyable

I actually quite liked this film, I've never heard of it, I just found it by mistake. The actors did a great job, I thought the accent would be much heavier considering that Agatha had a very old British accent. But it was really good. After watching this film, I feel like it is quite possible that this is what actually happened during her mysterious disappearance.
