Lucy Wallace produced this short costume drama, starring John Hurt, while studying at the Arts Institute, Bournemouth. Mark Kermode's review- "It has that complete quality of the Tale Of The Unexpected. It's a nice little loop set up. You kind of know where it's going from the very outset and it's boosted enormously, obviously, by the central performance by John Hurt. Considering it's a period-set drama, set in that hotel, you've got the beautiful establishing shots and the interiors are very nicely designed. It's a very well directed, intimate character piece."

This just edged out "Bitter Sleep" for me and maybe it was because of Hurt, but I also thought it was a nice little film. I'm giving it a 5 and a well done Lucy. John G (London)
Its quite a good film in the sence that it keeps you entertained to the end. I knew what was coming but it was still worth the watch. John Hurt was great too. RICHARD WINTER
I'd say a surprise winner, but well done. I thought it was okay. Wajih Khan
I think John Hurt is a distraction, but it obviously worked, so good luck to Lucy.
