Another Life

I recently saw Another Life. The film is set in Edwardian London. It follows Edith Thompson over a period of several years. She is in love with Percy. After marriage, everything changes. Percy wants her to be everything that a traditional and subservient wife should be. Edith is a dreamer and wishes for more. She soon meets Frederick. Everything ends with a murder trial.

There was not a lot to this film, but it is definitely worth checking out. It is currently available at hulu. It is the kind of film that ends exactly where it starts. None of the plot points were hugely unexpected. I was probably most surprised with Ioan Gruffudd. He gave a performance that I definitely did not expect. This character was unlike any other that he has ever played.

This film is not really a must-see, but I would still recommend it.
