Hope Gap feels like it has the potential to be something better than it wound up being. As it is, it's sort of tiresome. Annette Bening's character is rather an awful person, and she was hard for me to love. But the screenplay has some lovely language in it, and it's fairly elegant. The problem is that spending time with these folks isn't very much fun, if I'm honest. Still, Josh O'Connor has sold me as a truly brilliant actor. He's wonderful in this.
