When Ellen (Diana Kent) confesses to a brief affair with a rival up-and-coming artist, Morlang retreats into the arms of a young admirer (Susan Burroughs). An unexpected and devastating development strains Julius and Ellen's relationship even more. Based loosely on a true story, Morlang is a chilling, psychological drama about jealousy, betrayal and revenge. -- © Film Movement [More]

Reviews for Morlang
Without enough suspense, surprise or engagement, this pretty-as-a-picture piece feels as flat as one of Freeman's paintings.
Straining for emotional intricacy, the film's structure simply isn't strong enough to support its aims.
A portentous and goopy Dutch drama, in which the holy agony of creative expression is accompanied by plinky music, and the wild Irish countryside is always kissed in mist.
Penning, who also co-wrote the script based on a real-life scandal from the Netherlands, tangles up his timeline so thoroughly that any suspense is strangled out of the story.
A murder mystery so artfully restrained you almost expect Diana Rigg to deliver a witty epilogue.
Morlang has surprises up its sleeve that even the seasoned genre fan may not see coming.
