Like so many of the movies that stem from McEwan's novels, "The Children Act" is a soulful and sophisticated adult drama that peers into the void between the beauty of ideals and the cost of living by them.

The Children Act can feel sluggish and melodramatic, weighed down with the use of superfluous flashbacks, letter-reading voice-overs, and the repeated use of stodgy Bach passages. Intelligent, but airless.

Flickering Myth

The melodrama is piled on during the final act to an unbearable degree with material not even Emma Thompson can save.

The two central performances could hardly be better. Thompson works here with remarkable subtlety.

File this under missed opportunity. More often than not, it feels like a pretentious episode of Holby City. Or a shallow take on John Huston's The Dead.

Film Inquiry

he Children Act works strongest as a tight character study of the central female figure, elevated to higher ground by the astonishing lead performance.

It's worth seeing precisely for the heat of the arguments that you can enjoy after the screening and, above all, for Emma Thompson.
