We thought we'd give this "gripping" new bbc drama a go, but like so many of today's offerings, The Woman in the Wall was disappointing.
Wobbly cameras, mumbled dialogue and a narrative that bounces around like a daddy long legs on speed.
Very hard to follow, unconvincing acting and ultimately a group of characters that is hard to care about. Lorna just stares into space most of the time and is abusive to just about everyone else in the story. The bumbling cops and local women are little more than stereotypes
If you want a story about abuse in the Catholic Church try "Spotlight" or "Philomena". Vastly superior in every sense.
