What’s it all about? This real-life saga about a murder within the Baekeland family exposes the harrowing truth behind the envied lives of the rich.

Barbara (Moore) is the glamorous socialite with an unnaturally close relationship with her son Tony (Redmayne). 

What’s good? Julianne Moore is terrific as the frivolous, outwardly fabulous but desperately unhappy jet-setter, while Brit actor Eddie Redmayne proves he’s one to watch in his role as her son.

This has some real attention-grabbing moments: watch out for a jaw-dropping bedroom scene involving Hugh Dancy…

What’s bad? The pace is too slow, and some of the dialogue feels forced.

OK! verdict: A shocking, reasonably entertaining drama with tons of vintage glamour
