If not for the last 15/20 minutes (sans the atrocious ending, and even then they're only mildly watchable at best) I'd very comfortably call this one of the worst movies I've ever seen - and still will. Not even distracting, and intentionally as non-fun as possible. How exciting, we get to see nearly two LONG hours of nonentities played by actors who clearly couldn't give less of a shit about being there (except for the sole good scenery-chewing of Eva Green) tepidly talk about... like, fishing and shit? Sometimes even to each other! Where's the camp? Where's the (pun not intended) spirit? Doesn't go for jokes, doesn't go for drama, doesn't go for romance, doesn't go for anything - complete and utter apathy all around. It doesn't even look good, dear God some color could have at least made this pop but no of course it's color-coded like ash and jizz. This wakes up a bit when it has a spooky haunted house vibe to it but too bad that's only like a collective (and generous) few minutes of the whole thing. What the actual hell were they thinking, how can a director possibly stoop *noticeably* lower than š˜‹š˜¶š˜®š˜£š˜° (2019)?

I loved A Tidy Ending! Joanna Cannon has created a really interesting character in Linda. On the surface, sheā€™s a woman who hasnā€™t done much with her life - other than marry Terry and work in a charity shop. She begrudgingly visits her manipulative mother more often than sheā€™d like to, and becomes obsessed with the woman who owned her house before she and Terry moved in.

When she tracks Rebecca (the ex-homeowner) down, Linda believes sheā€™s found a new best friend. Rebecca wouldnā€™t agree with her. And so begins what looks like a story of manipulation and lies. But who is manipulating who? I mean, theyā€™re ALL lying - thatā€™s a given!

Linda is fascinating, her mum is unpleasant, and Terry comes across as underwhelmed by everything except his fishing. No wonder he annoys Linda so much!

Thereā€™s a mystery running alongside all of Lindaā€™s relationships - women go missing, and Linda begins to think Terry might be involved.

Thatā€™s where Iā€™ll leave the plot, because I donā€™t want to give anything away. I will say that I just loved the way that Joanna Cannon wrote about the characters in this: confidence tricksters, nosy neighbours, bossy mums, seemingly depressed husbands. A thoroughly good read!
