42: FIREFLIES IN THE GARDEN

Risked going to Haymarket Cineworld, probably their worst cinema - strange shaped rooms, uncomfortable seats - but this time around, I ended up in the main room for the first time (usually used for theatre) and it was much better.

A character driven, thought provoking drama with plenty of tension. The cast is brilliant - Ryan Reynolds showing off his 'serious' acting skills; Emily Watson, Julia Roberts and Carrie Ann Moss playing strong female roles; and the always scary Willem Dafoe perfecting the potrayal of an evil human being. Great drama without the theatrics.
