But points to Kate Winslet for going so far out of her element. I would have never pictured her in a role like this. It is not glamorous in the slightest. It is down in the muck, raw and well-played.

The plot is standard - adequately twisty - if not a few times meandering and bloated. But the story is more about character study than the whodunit. And there are dozens of characters each with a surprisingly fleshed-out dimensionality.
