The movie goes on a bit too long, but it makes up for it with finely tuned performances.
Well made and never boring--the director is Julian Jarrold ("Becoming Jane")--Appropriate Adult is a first-class example of what British filmmakers do well when they are not trying to look like American filmmakers.
Appropriate Adult is a psychologically harrowing character study of emotional manipulation against a backdrop of utter depravity.
Appropriate Adult will hardly be everyone's cup of tea (or coffee), but it's such a formidable showcase for its leads as to merit the opportunity to reach a discriminating audience.
Ultimately it's a fairly standard TV movie, if an overly long one, ending on a note of sentimental affirmation and, luckily, offering one outstanding central performance.
A gripping tale of police investigation and a criminal's mischief-making.
