The Fall (2013)
Very dark
Certainly a lot of twists and turns that were unexpected.
Overall I thought the acting was very good by everyone.
Despite the overall depressing story - both main plot and numerous sub plots - it held my interest to the end.
I took a point off my score for the stupid (IMHO) Catholic bashing.
It references a home for boys in Belfast were alleged abuse of the wards of the state boys occurred by staff. The name is fictional and only one allusion to the home being Catholic was made - a "Father" somebody in charge.
Shame on the producers - there was a real life organization Kincora Boys Home where alleged systematic abuse occurred. But this was a secular home staffed by Protestants and not Catholics - as Northern Ireland itself is occupied primarily now by English and Scottish Protestant colonists - and "native" Irish Catholics are a minority.
