Dreaming of Joseph Lees

Let loose in a plot that's surprisingly modern about sex and relationships, Morton gives Eva's torn longings an immediacy that transcends a lot of damp, 1950s rusticated preciousness.

An engrossing, superbly acted film that will haunt the viewer's thoughts long after the film is over.

Beautifully shot and often moving.

A film whose story movingly outfoxes any number of shopworn expectations on its way to a singular, heart-rending outcome.

Leaves almost no impression at all.

The last scene reads like an admission of defeat.

An aimless, pointless dawdle.
