Simon Stone’s trashy true crime-influenced take on the great Greek tragedy is preposterous but incredibly good fun
8 / 10
And Stone’s characters are by and large enjoyable. You’ll appreciate Sheehy’s performance a splash more if you’ve seen her in anything else and can appreciate just how far her delightfully awkward posh girl Alice is from anything else the Welsh actor has done. But she’s a delight either way, a vibrant cocktail of privilege and inferiority complex. US star Parker teeters on the cusp of panto villain but she’s tremendously good at it; with a couple of gloriously scenery-chewing monologues. And there are some great second-order characters too, particularly Rakhee Thakrar as Christopher’s parodically wholesome new girlfriend Chandra.
