Quite a few films go to streaming etc after a short limited run.
I spotted a poster for A Late Quartet yesterday and saw it said that it goes to Sky Box Office on the same day it is released! Personally, I find that disgusting.

I know it's showing at Hackney Picturehouse from tomorrow so it is around but will no doubt need searching out.
I have already which is why I know it's not within sniffing distance for me. . . . yet.
I thought this was due to be broadcast on television not long after the limited release, but I'm struggling to find anything online that backs that up. I might be going mad.

I hadn't realised what the story was before going, but soon realised what it was as I had read all about this in the media [spoiler]when the victim was suing her then employers.[/spoiler] Despite being familiar with the story I found I was gripped by the extraordinary story, [spoiler]in particular by the manipulation of the people on the phone.[/spoiler] However I did come out of the cinema feeling quite dirty.
Just watched this and had to check the facts afterwards as its so unbelievable. Disturbingly this is a really accurate portrayal of what actually happened, there's a clip of an ABC news show with snippets of the CCTV and interviews on YouTube.
The film is really uncomfortable to watch as the situation spirals out of control, the performances are all good and the direction is as restrained as can be expected given the subject.
Hard to recommend as some people will hate it, but its a fascinating subject.
Whilst on YouTube I also saw this clip of the original Milgram experiments which is very interesting.
