The protagonist of this film, Benedict Cumberbatch played well, on the role that was offered to him as a Stephen Lewis as a author of children's book and as a four year old girl's father. The emotions were realistic and there is no doubt in that. My doubt arises in this part, when the child got missing in the market and when the father asked people over there, if they have seen his child and no one responds. How can people not see a child who wore a bright yellow colored jacket and from my view, the market was not over-crowded with people and the child was standing in the entrance where her father was paying for the stuffs they bought. Also supermarkets nowadays have CCTVs fitted especially at the entrance as the setting of the story is done in this age where technologies have reached at a peak level.
If the couple was desperate enough to get their child back, they should have checked with the cops every month and enquired them about there missing child rather than looking and searching in surrounding areas and hoping that she will return one day, there has to be some leg- work. And their comes the last part where the wife had no signs of being pregnant and also about the sudden change in his best friend'S behaviour is quite not explainable. The end was quite understandable where the couple got rejoined when an unexpected happiness comes in their lives but, the movie ended soon. The scene should have have prolonged for some more minutes where the viewers can see and feel that happiness.
The emotions depicted by the Benedict Cumberbatch and Kelly Macdonald were appreciatable, especially when the father decorated his child's room, giving it a dual meaning where viewers can find a connection between his mental and emotional state.
