Rate The Last Movie You Saw

I think the most affecting part about this was that the scenes of happiness between the couple, at least to me, appeared to be imagined fantasy. Visually they are equivalent to the state Nicola seems to enter once she forces herself to escape the relationship, in the real world.

I didn't think this was perfect – I'd have liked the music to be different; I thought that the dialogue might have been improvised and it seems this was the case. My concern was how much that was detectable and if it could occasionally become repetitive or, unusually, make the characters unnatural; I felt the relationships weren't as convincing as they could have been.

Vicky McClure was good to watch. Lots of subtle little switches of emotion. One of the best scenes was Nicola's cry for help to her friend, disguised as a pretence of romantic bliss, smashing into a wall of apathy. I thought Leanne Best was great in that part, in that for all the smiles there's an icy indifference there that makes Nicola's cold stare justifiable once the two have parted. As a Line of Duty fan it was interesting to see these two together again, and I'd liked Best a lot when I first saw her in that show.

I watched this because of Vicky McClure and it was good to see her in a different light (it did amuse me that Adam's office came over so much like Line of Duty's AC-12 headquarters). Her performance definitely got through to me in a profound way — I rarely dream any more and I had a fairly vivid one that night in which she had a role, possibly standing in for someone in my own life (you know how it works ).
