Grace and Edward, married for 29 years, live in a small seaside town near a cove under the cliffs called Hope Gap. When their son Jamie comes to visit for the weekend, Edward informs him that he plans to leave Grace,that same day. Hope Gap tracks the unravelling of three lives, through stages of shock, disbelief and anger, to a resolution of sorts. There are no villains; only good people who’ve lived too long with old mistakes and are now paying the price.There are no easy answers, and no simple paths to redemption. A husband, a wife,a son are forced to face hard truths, and out of those truths to fashion new lives. (Roadside Attractions)

England is well-known for its white cliffs and distinctive gloomy countryside – both of those make me feel melancholic, which is the reason why I’m seeking out movies like that. Hope Gap has a clear-cut premise and apparent stars – Bill Nighy and Annette Bening. While Bill is filled with sadness, Annette doesn’t give him a second to rest. The premise was fine, the setting beautiful but because I’m a man I can’t rate it with more than 3 stars. Annette’s character was really nasty and she realized it too late.
