Separate Lies















Director: Julian Fellowes
Cast : Tom Wilkinson, Emily Watson
Year of Release : 2005

Set in London, this story works on multiple levels. Adapted from a book by Nigel (A Way through the Wood). For a movie with so many levels and melodrama, it usually is an adaptation from books. The screenplay gives the anchor to the plot and the movie. The actors are superb and give the movie the needed pace and depth. There are times when they shun typical English mannerisms and break free in times of frustration and desperation.
