UJim Broadbent njengoTony Webster kunye noHarriet Walter njengoMargaret Webster.Iifilimu ze-CBS Uncwadi kwiscreen ayisiyonto eyintandokazi yomntu wonke yokwenza ifilimu, kodwa xa inoveli elungileyo inikezelwa ngobukrelekrele kwaye ilungelelaniswe ngobuntununtunu, ngayo yonke intongomane kunye ne-bolt endaweni, akukho nto indonwabisa ngakumbi. Ifilimu enjalo uhlengahlengiso lukaNick Payne lwenoveli yaseBritane ephumelele amabhaso kaJulian Barnes Imvakalelo yokuphela , umsebenzi ongumzekelo malunga nendlela esikhetha ngayo kunye nokufaka iinkumbulo zethu, ukuhlela ngokufanelekileyo oko sikukhethayo ukulibala. Ekhokelwe kwipolishi kunye nokuthintelwa nguRitesh Batra, le yifilimu ebambekayo ethatha ukugxila kwakho kwaye ungaze uyiyeke. Ukuba lo uyasilela ukukuhambisa, awukhathali kangako malunga namandla eemovie.

Imvakalelo yokuphela iphanda iziqwengana ezibuthathaka, ezingaxutywanga, ezithe cwaka eziqwalaselweyo zobomi bendoda emva kokuba ilibale ukukhumbula izahluko ezibalulekileyo zexesha elidlulileyo. Le ndoda nguTony Webster (ngokunyaniseka nangokupheleleyo eboniswe nguJim Broadbent omkhulu), isoyikiso, ubukrelekrele, hayi indoda enobuntu okanye ethandekayo ekwiminyaka yama-70 ubudala enenye yezo venkile zincinci zincinci, zigcwele ngokugqibeleleyo ezenza ukuba kuthengwe eLondon kungafane kwenzeke uyolo. (Enye yezintandokazi zam ayithengisi nto ngaphandle kwamaqhosha.) UTony ugxile kwiLeicas kunye nezinye iikhamera ezixabisekileyo, ezingamasekeni. Ubomi bakhe buhlala kuphela ngabafazi ababini-eyintambo yakhe ecekethekileyo kwaye ecaphukisa ngokulula owayesakuba ngumfazi wakhe uMargaret (Harriet Walter) kunye nentombi yakhe eyintombazana enguSusie (Michelle Dockery), engatshatanga kwaye elindele umntwana. Ibhalansi kunye nocwangco oluchaza ukuba yedwa kukaTony luphazanyiswa ngequbuliso xa kufika ileta esemthethweni evela kumama osandula ukusweleka wentombi endala egama linguVeronica, emthembisa ngelifa lemali kunye nedayari yakhe yasekholejini ekudala eyilibale ukusukela kwiminyaka engama-50 eyadlulayo. Unomdla wokuqulathiweyo, uTony usungula uphando lokufumanisa ukuba kutheni ibanjiwe, kuphela ukuze sazi ukuba uVeronica akazimiselanga ukwahlukana nayo. Imfihlelo iqala.
Kuluhlu lwezinto ezibengezelayo, iinyani malunga nexesha elidlulileyo ziyavela kancinci, zityhila iminyaka yasekholejini kaTony, ukuthanda kwakhe uVeronica ongenakufaneka nokunqula igorha komhlobo wakhe osenyongweni uAdrian (bobathathu bamiselwa ngokumangalisayo nguBilly Howle, uFreya Mavor noJoe Alwyn). Ekugqibeleni uVeronica wamshiya uTony ngenxa ka-Adrian noTony wabenza buhlobo bobabini kwileta embi ngelishwa ebanqwenelela ilishwa kunye nekamva elibi. Ekuhambeni kwexesha, wakholwa ukuba bavelisa umntwana, uVeronica waya esiqhelweni ngokungummangaliso, kwaye uAdrian wothusa ilizwe ngokuzibulala. Ngoku, kwisiqingatha senkulungwane kamva kwaye esathwaxwa ziimfihlakalo ezingasombululwanga ezifakwe kwiinkumbulo zakhe ezinamafu, uTony ufumanisa uVeronica (ngoku odlalwa nguCharlotte Rampling okrokrisayo kunye nongenayo) kwaye ufumanisa izinto zexesha elidlulileyo elinefuthe elimangalisayo kwikamva. Ubomi bukaTony abusoze bufane.
Kungumsebenzi onzima ukwenza umboniso bhanyabhanya, kodwa uNick Payne wenza umsebenzi onyanzelisayo wokuqokelela iinyani ngobukrelekrele kunye nokunikezela isinyithi kwifomu enqabileyo ye-subliminal cinema njengokwanelisa njengoko kunzima. Intsalela yeendlela zokuziphatha ezindala, ezopolitiko, ezobugcisa kunye neminye imiba yefilosofi eyakha ubudlelwane phakathi kwabathathu ababekwe ityala elikhulu, kunye neziphumo zesazisi esingalunganga esitshisa umngxunya kwinto uTony abona ukuba iyinyani. UThomas Wolfe uthe awungekhe ugoduke kwakhona, kodwa le bhanyabhanya iyacacisa, iqhubela phambili eso sibhengezo soncwadi esithetha ukuba awungekhe uphinde uye naphi na ukuba yinxalenye yexesha elidlulileyo eligutyungelwe ziinyaniso ezingaphelelanga.
Le yifilimu eqolileyo, ebukekayo, eneenkcukacha ezintle endikucebisayo. Ngeli xesha lokulawula okubalaseleyo, andazi ukuba bakhona na abaphulaphuli bokukhetha okunengqiqo nokuqondayo, kodwa ndiyavuya ukuba kusekho abantu abambalwa ukuba babhale kwaye babakhokele.
