A sensitive and devastating portrait of a long, happy marriage in sudden crisis. Retirees Kate and Geoff live a comfortable life until the past intrudes in an unnerving manner, forcing them to reassess how well they really know each other. When the body of Geoff’s old girlfriend is discovered, the couple become haunted in different ways, pulling them apart. This study of the uncanny, irrational power of memory and desire suggests that even after decades together, two people can remain perfect strangers. 2015, UK, 95 minutes, rated R
