Barnaby Southcombe's funereally paced but inventively lit oddity stars Charlotte Rampling (the director's mother) as a lonely divorcée who after hooking up with a rotter at a speed-dating event, goes back to his Barbican flat and smashes his head in.
However, she appears to have no memory of the incident, so starts dating Gabriel Byrne's sensitive detective. Surely the sort of chap who's going to sniff out her crime. The likes of Eddie Marsan and Hayley Atwell are wasted in this dreary thriller.
