Will R @RT40688489 Jan 28 Beautiful. Incredibly moving, first time I've been brought to tears by a film in a very long time. Jesus christ. Brilliant, just brilliant. See more 08/26/2010 Watched this ages ago. A very engrossing and competant drama. Think you can still watch it on 4od if you're in the uk.

Naomie Harris is the titular woman who arrives insisting she "ain't a nutter", and therefore fits in perfectly, while Martin is the lonely and reclusive patient N. Initially assigned as a helper N gradually becomes obsessed with Poppy and the effect she has on her mentality. Her markedly astute character changes keep you thinking and second-guessing right to the downbeat climax. See more 07/29/2008 Good, but the plot makes little sense. See more Read all reviews
