She is still haunted by memories of a passionate love affair with a young man who was later murdered while on military duty in Malaysia nearly 35

If taut and literary psychological dramas are your game, this is a fine entry...

Wetherby has a pedigree which substantially outstrips its small and undercooked story.

A gripping psychodrama that touches on themes of loss, middle age blues, and the dangers of repressing primal emotions such as love, violence, and desire.

Audience Reviews for Wetherby

Exceptional cast in dark gloomy drama that moves at a glacial pace. The actors can't be faulted but it's a bit of a slog.
