Is anyone watching?

No, I've turned over. Arty photography over substance. I'll give it another go though. What do you think of it?

Crispsheets · 29/11/2016 21:20

Just started watching

Paffle · 29/11/2016 21:20

I'm half watching while I MN. I enjoyed the film and the cast is good. Bit slow so far.

MiracletoCome · 29/11/2016 21:21

Yes. I don't recognise Tim Roth as the same person as in lie to me, I'm sure he is playing the main part

FlowerFairiee · 29/11/2016 21:23

I'm not sure. I thought the film with Richard Attenborough was really good and he was superb at playing Christie - so creepy. I'm finding this one a bit slow and I'm not finding Tim Roth creepy at all. He sounds like he is trying to sound the same as Richard Attenborough did, with the whispery voice, but I'd have liked him to have made the role is own rather than copy someone else.

I think Samantha Morton seems good though. It's early days, so I'll give it a chance.

I'm saving it until later.

Christie did have a very whispery voice, apparently.

Paffle · 29/11/2016 21:28

Flower I agree. Seems very much an impression of Richard Attenborough. But then they're both playing the same, real person so I suppose you'd expect similarities.

FlowerFairiee · 29/11/2016 21:28

I didn't realise he had a whispery voice. I'll take it back what I said about Tim Roth! I'm still not getting the creepy vibe. Richard Attenborough sent chills down my spine he was so scary!

(I think from gas damage in WW1 trenches? Mustard gas? It was said to be distinctive, anyway)

annandale · 29/11/2016 21:30

It did catch my eye but I can't imagine it being anywhere near as good as the film so am avoiding.

Manumission · 29/11/2016 21:32

Attenborough is a tough act to follow.

I remember walking around my flat turning lights on after seeing the film for the first time.

FlowerFairiee · 29/11/2016 21:32

I do wonder what on earth Ethel sees in that man. She knows he's up to some seriously dodgy stuff and he's hardly a charmer!

I think the film is excellent. I'm looking forward to watching this at the weekend with my husband.

Twiceover · 29/11/2016 21:33

Tis dull. I might give up.

notaflyingmonkey · 29/11/2016 21:34

Am I the only one watching with all the lights on then?!

DodoRevival · 29/11/2016 21:35

Not sure about it and I've not seen the film.

FlowerFairiee · 29/11/2016 21:35

Housewife what channel is the film on this weekend and what time?

OP posts:
Paffle · 29/11/2016 21:36

I'm bored. And on my own tonight so might jack it in before it does get creepy.

ChampagneCommunist · 29/11/2016 21:38

Cinematography & set/props are fabulous

FlowerFairiee · 29/11/2016 21:41

I'm getting into it now. I agree on the cinematography and set. Also, I think the acting is good. I'm starting to get chills from Christie.

DodoRevival · 29/11/2016 21:42

Can you help stoopid me. Was him in prison after what were seeing now or was he in prison before (and was the 9 years she referred to thinking he was dead)

LineyReborn · 29/11/2016 21:43

Turned it off again.

DodoRevival · 29/11/2016 21:44

Plus who's the man who said he'd 'wring his bloody neck'

DodoRevival · 29/11/2016 21:47

Is he her brother?

(I'm amazing at keeping up!!)
