A chilly, intelligent and absorbing drama about infidelity, ethics and forgiveness.
Connie Ogle, Miami Herald
Fresh
It's as grown-up as a movie can get, with a fine cast in a strongly crafted tale about the calamities that can wreck a relationship and the love that can redeem it.
Bruce Westbrook, Houston Chronicle
Fresh
As a very British film about very British personalities, class differences and attitudes, it's just about perfect.
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

The deceptions of Separate Lies are so uniquely and recognizably human they become a cautionary warning to us all.
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press
