Shadow Dancer

Dramat vinner på att handlingen till stor del i familjen och det känns på sätt och vis otäckare att familjemedlemmar ställs mot varandra.

In the movie’s most chilling moment, Riseborough passes a doorway on her way from a meeting with Wilmot and sees a gloved IRA operative rolling up a plastic tarp; had she cracked, this is where they would have executed her.

An intelligent and emotionally charged spy drama.

Riseborough's performance is certainly very good, though....: she is so good at suggesting thoughts and emotions that surface slowly and gradually.

There are scattered moments of intense beauty throughout, thanks to Rob Hardy's widescreen photography...
