Master chronicler of post-war England, pre-eminent British director Terence Davies (House of Mirth) guides Rachel Weisz in a career-defining performance as a woman whose overpowering live threatens her well-being, and alienates the men in her life. Beginning with her botched suicide attempt, this riveting film, based on British playwright Terence Rattigan’s 1952 play, follows a day in the life of free-spirited Hester, informed by flashbacks to her relationships with her stodgy older judge husband (Simon Russell Banks) and a troubled but dashing RAF pilot (Tom Hiddleston).
