What, no Welsh spoken or a Welsh accent!

Even in the most English parts of Wales you can't understand them for their welsh lint and singalong voices. Also, the story was lacking any bite. And the plot holes are too many.

not as bad as some people say

Not as bad as some people say not as good either! If you want pretentiously bad try 'The Hours'. At least no-one was wearing a Groucho' nose. Excellent cinematography - superbly atmospheric views and angles. On reflection, sensitive acting - but I couldn't find/feel empathy with any character - I found it rather unsatisfying to be a detached observer. Far too few jokes (none in fact?) The penultimate scene/action - and possibly the first act of resistance shown by Ms Riseborough's character was nihilistic, an act of vandalism rather than a statement about truth or freedom. Was the final 'ride into the sunset' or murky mists, meant to be ambiguous - a walk to death or to seek out her husband or merely Sarah's need to escape claustrophobia

Michael Sheen used to sell this movie and he's not in it much

This is a TV movie if anything, very average and predictable. Michael Sheen is listed as one of the stars yet he is only in it for about five minutes, maybe ten at a push. Some of the reviews on IMDb are laughable regarding this film, like the chap who said he never posts reviews, well neither do I but after reading the first one I have to say that this is a very mundane film and I agree with what he wrote completely. The Welsh countryside is beautifully shot by the film-maker but that is not really a reason to watch this film. My advice is to wait till it comes on TV and if you are bored then this might kill time but it is certainly not very special, interesting or anything else.
