RATING:

EXTRAS:

Bill Nighy miscasted? You got to be kidding me. The scene where he explodes when he finds out about his wife’s affair is a master class in acting.

As much as Barbara judges, you may find yourself in a quandary, not judging so much as taking pleasure in her vile, brilliant perfection.
