A very slow-moving beginning, encouraged me to skip forward and watch the very end. Then I went back to try to fill in some missing details and found myself more impressed by the middle section of this film.
While I think it's true there's nothing really new here, the central performance of James Norton is really very special. He is so believable in the role. I never once felt he was an actor playing a part. Nor did I ever feel his character was focussed on anything other than his struggle to make the right decision(s) for his son.
So, nothing really new here, but worth watching for James Norton's wonderfully believable performance.
