About This Movie

So, Affinity. It's this intriguing piece set in the Victorian era, directed by Tim Fywell. The atmosphere is quite heavy, almost suffocating at times, which really captures the emotional state of our protagonist, a grieving upper-class woman. She becomes a Lady Visitor at Millbank prison, trying to connect with the inmates, especially this medium named Selina. The pacing is deliberate, allowing us to really dive into the complexities of their relationship. The themes of loss and longing are palpable, and there’s this haunting quality to the performances. The practical effects are subtle, more about the emotional weight than spectacle. It's distinctive for how it blends drama, mystery, and a hint of romance without ever losing that dark undertone.
