CGiii Comment

Intensely moving...as a mother's grief would be...after losing her son.

This is complex - little is stated...but, the acting is sublime.

You will have to think - fill in the missing gaps because the director and writers do not intend to make it easy for you - those that accept this state-of-play will be treated to a sad account - those that don't will be bored.

Moving beyond words.
