    The real emotional impact of the film lies in the candid interviews with Crowhurst's wife, Clare, and his son, Simon, both of whom are clearly still haunted by Crowhurst and his fateful voyage.

    A sad story, but well told, with respect for its subject and an eye for the Shakespearian tragedy in the tale.
