Sorry but could not make head or tail to this garbage. I was expecting something along the lines of the Wicker Man but no.... This makes no sense & I am wondering who else thinks this? I really enjoyed Heriditary but ths is like from another director. Come on we can do better than this. It is not even vageuly defied as a horror movie. Horror movies are supposed to be scarey. This is about as scarey as going to work in the morning! Please come up with something better. It is no wonder there are so many unhappy people giving this a one star as it is simply NOT HORROR. Just my honest opinion!
Don't waste your time & money.
Sorry.

Sorry.
The true horrific Holodomor story is often buried by mainstream history, so when I heard that this was coming out I was excited & was really looking forward to this film, but what a dissapointing snore fest this turned out to be, & yes I did actually fall asleep!
This movie tries way too hard to be "art-house" & while I don't mind art house movies, this one is so arty it makes it distracting & difficult to follow. Our hero the eponymous Mr Jones is something of an idiot, bumbling about in odd states of confusion (which confused me!?) He is supposed to be the foreign advisor to the then Prime Minister so surely he should be a smart educated man with diplomatic skills & while I was not expecting a James Bond character, I was expecting to see a well developed character befitting the job he was doing. We are never told why Stalin & the Marxist regime wants to starve & murder people, instead we are told that these genocidal Communists are simply "modernizing" Russia (?) which makes no sense. The true horror of the Holdomor does not quite come across in the movie, nor does it give us any sense of what was happening at the time. In this sense it shows the sets & make up were all well below par, which is a shame. The acting is ok but the story is dreadfully slow & the pacing drags on & on.
Well I am still waiting for an honest telling of this story, but it is not a subject that comes up often for some reason. We must be super wise to real history as history in particular the horrors of WW2 hold many lessons to be learned.

Four lives tells the real life story of the horrific murders of 4 young men on the very cusp of thier lives, & where the utterly shocking police incompetnce & failure to investigate, which lead to more lives being cruelly snatched away.
Stephen Merchant is utterly chilling as murderer Stephen Port. His performance is spine tingling yet almost muted making the whole persona seem eerie & sinister. Sheriden Smith as the mother of Anthony Walgate (Sarah Sac) is highly emotive & brought a tear to my eye as the mothers that lost their sons are my age & made me realise this could have happened to my son. So her performance gave me a personal connection. The supporting cast are also excellent, where I could find no fault. This deeply upsetting story is told with tact & a certain grace which I appreciate & respect, however I feel the side of the story dealing with the incompetent police investigation was slightly lacking & needed more depth. The blatent homophobia displayed by the police during the real investigation was disgusting & staggering but this is not touched upon untill part 3 of the drama.
Overall this is a great drama though & highly compelling with terrific performances. The pacing is smooth, direction is almost flawless & the photography is superb. We can also take comfort that the real killer, Stephen Port is now safely locked away on a whole life term so he can no longer terrorise the Gay community & law abiding society. Thank goodness!
8 stars for all the cast & crew. X.
