The catch is Lizzie’s daughter perished in a tragic accident years ago! Luke Evans co-stars as Lizzie’s ex-husband, who believes his wife’s instability is causing harm to their son.
Filled with its share of twists, Angel of Mine is another memorable effort from Farrant, whose previous film (the Nicole Kidman headlined Strangerland) was severely underrated. Rapace is excellent in the film, and hopefully her performance gets a bit more attention with its home video release.
