I have been meaning to watch this for years. It looked interesting and the cast is insane. I had to rush and watch it though as my Netflix was about to take it from my queue. Lone Scherfig also directed the beautiful and heart-wrenching One Day. Laura Wade who wrote this also wrote only one other thing I've never heard of. Anyways let's see if this was worth the wait.
The opening was pretty amusing and made it kind of feel like a comedy though it definitely turned out not to be. I thought this was going to have several instances of what the club does throughout the year. Instead it takes place mostly over the course of a dinner after dealing with initiation rituals. Of course I didn't read the description before watching and only knew some details. Anyways the acting was excellent. The characters were intriguing. Natalie Dormer was great, but was just a small role that didn't do much with her character. In fact I felt like her story was kind of abrupt. I didn't know how this would end or what would happen before it ended. The ending reminded me a lot of Burning Sands although with a different outcome. There are some moments that make you despise some characters and feel for others. Some such scenes you didn't know how it was going to progress. The ending was in parts good and also bad in a way. It's not what I was expecting to watch, but it was still a great movie.
Rich people can be pretty awful some more so than others, but not everybody is bad. Anyways this was a well made film with great actors taking on some intriguing roles. Some moments will have you clenching your seat. Others may make you laugh. In the end I think it showed some things many people don't notice. I say this is well worth the watch so check it out.
