Consequences

Rating: 7/10 (13 January 2008)

A 13-year-old girl, living in a grand English estate, watches some scenes and misinterprets the whole thing. What happens is a disaster, in the long run also for her.
This is a movie about power. The one we're aware of and the one we're not. The first hour is tremendous and very clever made. You come to think a little about Antonioni's "Blow-Up", although this is quite another form of movie and another theme.
What brings it down is the rather conventional way the plot develops. It's like two different directors have made the first and the second half. But the first one is a great thriller in a way you haven't seen before. Well worth seeing.
