Wreckers (15)<\/span><\/p>\n

Verdict:<\/span> Village of the dull<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>
\nRating: \"2<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

Wreckers is a small, much too
\nleisurely British film notable mainly for the luminous performance of
\nClaire Foy, so memorable as Little Dorrit in the television adaptation.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\"Dull:<\/p>\n

Dull: Wreckers is not up to much but Claire Foy is luminous<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

She plays a young wife anxious to have
\na baby, who moves with husband David (Benedict Cumberbatch) to a
\nramshackle house in his childhood village. <\/span>\n<\/p>\n

Here, through exposure to the locals
\nand his mentally disturbed brother (Shaun Evans) who comes to stay
\nwithout an invitation, she discovers unappetising truths about the
\nvillage, her husband and his antecedents.<\/span><\/p>\n

Female writer-director D.\u2009R.Hood has
\nmade a competent first feature, but it\u2019s a piece for actors rather than
\naudience.
<\/span><\/p>\n

The revelations are not startling or powerful enough, and the
\nplotting runs out of steam well before the end.<\/span><\/p>\n
