CGiii Comment
Aaah the stagnant stench of nepotism...
Contrived and preposterous - and, despite the reputable names, the acting is appalling.
Ms Fiennes...writes a travesty of pretension, the supposed deep & meaningful segues into the slight and shallow...trying way, way too hard to be artistic...and failing miserably.
Often, in the film industry, nepotism does work...this is a shining (& embarrassing) example of when it doesn't!
It looks like this killed her directing career stone-dead...

The(ir) Blurb...
Every family has its secrets and tries to hold them hidden within domestic walls. However, those of the family of Marcus Aylesbury are in order to become public because of the family's long date friend Trent, a journalist faithful to his ideals who, put under pressure by his editor, is looking for a "sexy-scoop"...
