A bright start to The Girl Before. A psychological thriller involving three damaged people.
A designer modernist house that is an architectural wonder that no sensible person would want to live in.
The owner and architect Edward (David Oyelowo) has imposed onerous conditions, about 200 of them. However the cost for living in the house is minimal rent, a bargain for London.
There are parallel stories told in two timelines. Emma and Simon moved into the house three years earlier. Emma had gone through a trauma where she was attacked at knifepoint.
Jane (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) moves in three years later. She has just lost a baby but is single.
Jane discovers that the house might have an aura of bad luck.
Edward meant to live in the house but his wife and child died when the house was being built. Then she discovers that Emma died in mysterious circumstances.
Just maybe Edward was involved somehow. When Jane meets Simon, he sorts of implies it.
Oyelowo is kind of creepy. A little odd, maybe enigmatic and also grief stricken.
The production have cast two actresses that have a superficial resemblance. Implying that Edward could had been obsessed by these two women.
I was left wanting to find out more how this would turn out.
