Completely miscast
Sadly this is incredibly disappointing because the two lead actors just don't gel. Not a great sign in a romantic drama. There is no sense of spark or romance between them on screen and this leads to an unconvincing and slow storyline dragging out, and subsequently we don't really care about either character.
Leo Woodall does well as Dexter and his screen charisma and charm are evident, fitting the character exactly as in the novel. However Ambika Mod is very far from what Emma should be and this perhaps lies in a huge miscasting of the part. If the viewer doesn't believe that these characters even care about each other, what's the point? It simply becomes dull and dreary.
