I was so disappointed by this film unfortunately. If I am honest I was expecting a gritty drama focussing on courtroom arguments, legal and moral dilemmas and believable characters. I got none of this. The courtroom section was over before I'd even finished my cup of tea and the rest of the film felt disjointed, drawn out and flat. Even Emma Thompson's character was somewhat lacking although I can't fault her acting. And the young boy was quite frankly creepy and very hard to get behind as a character. This film could have focussed on so many complex issues in an in-depth and challenging way but seemed to waste all of this on weakly portrayed "affairs of the heart.
