From the Oscar-winning director of Man on Wire comes a taut thriller set in 1990s Belfast. Colette McVeigh (Andrea Riseborough) is a mother and spy caught up on both sides of the Troubles. Following a tense journey on the London underground, she becomes a reluctant informant for MI5, putting her life in danger to protect her relationship with her young son. Torn between her passionately Republican family and her MI5 handler (Clive Owen), Colette returns to Ireland to report on local IRA activity. This is a tense exploration of trust, betrayal and loyalty that has drawn comparisons with Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.
An opaque, slow-burning but brilliant thriller about the compulsions of terrorism. The Guardian
