22 August 2022 8 According to reviews, I was preparing for a soulful movie. Somehow I did not pay attention to the 18+ mark, unexpectedly I received a portion of porn or erotica, about which I want to warn the viewer. And so the film is not bad, the play of Emily Watson is fascinating, above all praise.
