by

The thrilling film Enduring Love, featuring Daniel Craig, is now available to watch for free in the UK. The movie also stars Rhys Ifans, Samantha Morton, and Bill Nighy, with a supporting performance by Anna Maxwell Martin.

I just finished watching this movie, and it’s really stuck with me. It’s about a couple who go through something awful, and then this strange, isolated guy starts fixating on them. Roger Michell directed it, and Joe Penhall wrote the script – they both did an amazing job building the tension and making you really feel for the couple.

The 2004 movie, adapted from Ian McEwan’s novel, is now being streamed for free on Channel 4’s streaming service, following its broadcast on Film4 last night.

Joe Morrissey and his girlfriend, Claire, are just about to celebrate with a bottle of champagne when they hear a shout. A hot-air balloon is descending rapidly, with a child inside and a man being pulled along on the ground. Joe quickly helps with the rescue, but tragically, someone dies during the attempt.

Jed Parry, a witness to a terrible accident, becomes dangerously obsessed with the event. This obsession consumes him and begins to destroy the life of Joe, challenging his logical worldview, endangering his relationship with Claire, and pushing him towards violence and insanity.

Critics are divided on the film Enduring Love, which currently has a 58% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 97 reviews.

Both Rolling Stone and The Observer praised the film, with Rolling Stone calling it ‘spellbinding’ and The Observer describing it as a ‘riveting, revealing, and powerful exploration of the complexities and changing nature of love’.

According to The Washington Post, this film is captivating – it feels so immersive that you only recognize its deeper, philosophical questions after the credits roll.

According to The New York Times, Rhys Ifans delivers a subtly unsettling and delicate performance as a rejected lover in this thoughtful film exploring the small, hurtful ways love can be expressed.

According to The Boston Globe, the film initially tries to appear deep and meaningful, but ultimately falls into predictable and sensational melodrama after exhausting its attempts at profundity. It teeters between being sincerely romantic and shockingly inappropriate.

Enduring Love is now streaming on Channel 4.
