    Relentlessly grim yet unengaging, despite a committed performance from Emily Blunt at the centre of it. Fractured narrative can work brilliantly when a master like Christopher Nolan is in charge.

    **A very feminine film with a good mystery, but is no better due to several small problems and the total absence of dramatic tension.** Good books usually give rise to good films… if they have people who are skilled enough to translate them intelligently onto the screen. I heard great things about the original book, but as I never found it on sale in my language, I ended up never being able to read it. All I can d…
