This one was quite good – we were mainly attracted to it due to the presence of Dominic West, who’s always first & foremost going to be Jimmy McNulty for us, and therefore hearing him speak in any accent other than Baltimore is a non-sequitur (even though that’s not his real accent). Quite well-told story of a woman (Keira Knightley) who writes stories based on her own life, which are then published under her husband’s name, and he claims all the credit. 👍
