[It] doesn't fully trust its own story and tries to dress it up with an air of ominous mystery that winds up undercutting the drama rather than adding to it.

The film's top-notch cast are let down badly enough by the clunking screenplay, but they are entirely defeated by the ethical vacuum at its core.

The Sad Rich White People Movie is one of my favourite genres, and indeed the white people in this English-language remake of Danish film-maker's Susanne Bier's 2006 tearjerker are very sad and very rich.

... a well-meaning, well-upholstered drama which makes a decent fist of revising and updating Susanne Bier’s subtitled original, but which lacks the crucial nous that makes for a great picture...delivers more in terms of soap opera than cutting edge drama
