The Lesson (III) (2023)
7/10
good actors
19 December 2023
J. M. Sinclair (Richard E. Grant) and Hélène Sinclair (Julie Delpy) have hired Liam Somers (Daryl McCormack) to tutor their son Bertie (Stephen McMillan). J. M. Is a successful writer and aspiring writer Liam worships him. The family is still traumatized by a previous tragic incident. In the opening flashforward, Liam is a new exciting writer and there is a suggestion that great writers steal their material.

The obvious takeaway from the opening is that Liam stole his book. It's either him or J. M. This is a bit of a slow burn. It takes its time to reveal its secrets. There could be more red herrings. When it's done, I think Liam could do more to trap and trick J. M. This is rather simple. On the plus side, the actors are doing good work. They make this good.
