THE ONES BELOW

CITY TO CITY D: David Farr. UK. 87 min. Sep 13, 7:30 pm TIFF Bell Lightbox 3 Sep 15, 10:15 pm, Sep 20, 3:30 pm Bloor Hot Docs. See listings. Rating: NN


A young couple (Clémence Poésy, Stephen Campbell Moore) expecting their first child encounter friction with their prickly downstairs neighbours (Laura Birn, David Morrissey) in their London duplex.

There’s an intriguing slow-burn psychological thriller here, with more than a little Single White Female frisson between the tentative Poésy and the soulful Birn, but it’s undermined by a badly miscalibrated performance by the usually dependable Morrissey and some very laboured plotting.
