Running time: 100 mins. Starring: Colin Firth, Julianne Moore, Nicholas Hoult, Matthew Goode, Paulette Lamori. Director: Tom Ford.

Oscar-nominated Colin Firth stars in Tom Ford’s first cinematic outing, which is a haunting drama about a professor who secretly says farewell to the people he loves as he contemplates suicide after the death of his lover.

It is a deeply moving portrait of love and death, anchored by Firth’s fearless central turn, and Julianne Moore is dazzling as ever in a booze-soaked supporting role.
