Separate Lies

Twists and turns you won't see coming. Loved it!

This is a delightful semi-thriller that explores several themes. A tragic hit and run accident provides a test of ethics for the main three protagonists. The movie asks the question do we protect someone we love from the consequences of that person's actions? It is almost amusing to see the ethical about face of one of the cast when it is discovered that the driver is someone else than the person thought to be the guilty party. An adulterous affair complicates the plot, and the movie explores the resulting anguish of the participants.At the beginning of this review I stated that the movie is a semi-thriller. The three main characters are involved in events that cause an increasing state of tension as the movie progresses, but I really feel that the director wasn't trying to make a thriller at all. The emotional struggles of the the trio are what's really important. One reviewer commented that the movie dragged. When I watched it I marveled at the tight editing of the movie. Many scenes seem to last only a minute or less, and none of them contain any unnecessary material.One thing that surprised me though, is that a certain aspect of the plot simply vanishes later on in the movie. Aside from that I really felt that this was a well crafted film.

I've seen this several times. The book is different, with a different ending. Both are good.

From the description of this movie, I thought it would be more of a thriller than a cheating spouse story.

Excellent scrip and actors are superb. Life is NOT a source of hilarity. Rich people are wallowing in angst. What’s not to love??

I enjoyed watching this immensely!!. Kept me on the edge of my seat!!

It's a little bit of "In The Bed Room" and a little bit of "Unfaithful", British style. I could watch Tom Wilkinson in any thing he does. Wonderful plot twists takes you away from the thriller aspect and into the touching love story. Quite different. Doesn't rush through the plot. Takes its time with character development and storyline. I gave it four instead of five because there was just a spot where things became a tad bit slow. But it didn't distract from the overall story. I didn't drift away from this pleasurable viewing experience. I love these understated, well written story. More like this, please.Watch it for the performances. Enjoy it for the story!

Great movie. Have watched it a few times

très bien

Very good kept our interest,good story compared to those special effects no story flicks!

This starts quite slowly and you don't like the characters too much but then it builds into something really rather good with a very strong performance from the excellent Tom Wilkinson who's come a long way from his Full Monty days. This is a very English film.

Laberinto de pasiones ,es un thiller ,que te mantiene lleno de interes hasta el final de la historia ,lo recomiendo.

I love Tom Wilkinson and this is a very good movie.
