Star-crossed “astral twins” Anna and Emery are finally reunited, and Emery asks Anna anxiously: “You know what I think are the two saddest words in the English language…?” Hang on, give me a second, I know this… is it “The Luminaries”? Actually, no, the answer to the question is “too late”. So there you go.
As timelines clash – I have no idea what’s a flashback and what isn’t – Anna (Eve Hewson who manages to be radiant amid the gloom) is prey to the various demands of men in this bleak, impenetrable drama. All of them want something from her.
After an etiolated fever dream sequence a character asks in despair, “What’s happening?” Search me.
