Tea and Sympathy
“Where does a woman's sympathy leave off -- and her indiscretion begin?”
Drama
At a high school reunion, a middle-aged man recalls his boarding school days, when the only person who seemed to sympathize with him was his housemaster's wife.
VIBE
This film feels like a hushed, uncomfortable confession. It's a slow-burn exploration of societal pressures and unspoken desires within the rigid walls of an elite boarding school. The atmosphere is thick with unspoken tension and a deep sense of isolation.
