Summary

Oscar winners Cate Blanchett and Kevin Kline star in a glossy seven-part psychological thriller adapted for the screen by writer-director Alfonso Cuaron from Renee Knight's best-selling novel. Acclaimed journalist Catherine Ravenscroft (Blanchett) has built an enviable reputation on truth and morality by exposing the transgressions of others, especially people in power. Her privileged word with husband Robert (Sacha Baron Cohen) and son Nicholas (Kodi Smit-McPhee) comes crashing down when an anonymous author sends her a book in the post. The manuscript turns out to be a forensic dissection of her own misdeeds and darkest secrets, which will destroy her family if it is ever published. Catherine races to uncover the sender's identity before everything she has built is decimated

Review

David Brown

This stylish psychological thriller is in the business of disrupting lives of seeming perfection, specifically the one being led by Catherine Ravenscroft (Cate Blanchett), an acclaimed TV documentarian famous for exposing misdeeds who discovers she’s the lead character in a novel that reveals her own dark secrets.

The publication is an act of revenge on the part of a former teacher (played by Kevin Kline) who blames Catherine for his unhappy lot. But does he have the right target in his sights? The fallout explores the potent themes of guilt and public shaming.
