Best Interests

A powerful and heartbreaking drama, the only reason I could advise against seeing it is that it might break your heart. Sharon Horgan is excellent and Alison Oliver and Niamh Moriarty are no less. Michael Sheen is simply superlative, his performance is devastating, he managed to make me cry with disarming ease. Honestly, considering they've never nominated a national treasure like David Tennant until this year's very ill-conceived nomination, I already knew that the Bafta is to cinema what McDonald's is to fine dining, but not nominating Sheen while nominating the series and Horgan for this role, it's truly a public statement of utter obtuseness.
