At a seaside hotel in winter, a woman is visited by her former lover, and her teenage daughter watches.
Sinekatalog’s take
Alan Bridges's drama brings a former lover to a woman's seaside hotel in winter under the gaze of her teenage daughter. Vanessa Redgrave, Cliff Robertson and Susan George are strong, but the airless, slow chamber piece is more mood than story.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
