Another two words:
In 2009, BBC aired three movies that were dubbed "The Red Riding Trilogy" that focused on very fictionalized accounts of some serial murders in the past 40 years in England.
In the first installment of this TV trilogy, we meet Garfield who plays Eddie Dunford, a journalist for the Yorkshire Post, who gets very involved in trying to uncover the truth behind the disappearance and murder of four young girls. His questioning leads him to the widowed mother (Hall) of one of the young girls, where he finds even more questions, murkier "realizations", and some people who decidedly don't want him to know too much.
It's terrifically acted and fantastically shot, with superb care taken in the detailing of the time. The look of the film is stunning in its depiction not only of the era, but of the grittiness of the case and the changes in geography. Really stunning work. I'm choosing not to tell too much about it, because I want everyone to watch it for themselves.
Score: 9.5/10
