I hadn't read any reviews or seen any trailers for this film, so I watched it with a blank canvas. Jessica Chastain is one if my favourite actresses and Eddie Redmayne is brilliant too, which is why I decided to watch the film in the first place.
This is not an action packed film, but a slow paced, thoughtful piece, allowing the viewer to engage with the two principal characters- Chastain and Redmayne. Not long into the film it was obvious something was amiss, but I didn't know the premise of the story and was waiting for a double bluff.
I don't want to give away any spoilers, so I'll stop there. However, I was shocked to learn that the film is based on a true story. How these events were allowed to happen, I can't comprehend.
Anyway, enjoy two stellar performances, ably supported by the actors who played the detectives.
