Thriller with Twists
This movie was loosely based on the book “The Dinner.” The book made me uncomfortable with its exploration of moral choices. The movie made several changes, such as a greater role for the children. I felt that change and many of the others were improvements, at least in terms of making it work as a movie. It still examined moral choices, and asked the question “How far should parents go to protect their children?” but took some turns I was not expecting, which I actually liked. The acting was very good and made me feel for the characters and their desperation.
