Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
This tepid indie comedy lacks a consistent tone; directors Tom Dolby and Tom Williams can't decide whether to satirize or sympathize with their wealthy, self-regarding characters.

rotten:
A flat drama filmed at a house that's more interesting than most of the characters.

rotten:
The characters flutter about, argue and flirt, but they are simply too bland and vacuous to make much of an impression.

fresh:
Clarkson embodies the longings, doubts and confusions of such a woman, without judgment or excess sympathy. She is just there, a fact, and completely believable.

rotten:
All the possibilities of a richly drawn family squabble fade faster than the final days of summer.
