The Lesson

Rich with ideas but with little success to his name, young writer Liam (Daryl McCormack) accepts a tutoring role with the young son of literary heavyweight and personal hero J.M. Sinclair (Richard E. Grant). Sinclair is open and fascinated by some of Liam’s ideas, but he’s quickly ensnared by his idol and his wife Hélène’s (Julie Delpy) schemes. There are dark secrets in the master’s house, and writing an ending to this story may cost him more than ink…

A tense British thriller featuring a terrific pairing of actors duelling, Daryl McCormack (Good Luck to You Leo Grande, Bad Sisters) and Richard E. Grant are perfect for this poison pen letter that will leave you guessing until the last frame.
