An adaptation of the Julian Barnes novel, not that I’ve read it. It’s the story of Tony who’s reminded of the relationship he had with Veronica while he was at university in the 60s. She subsequently left him to forge a union with a school friend of his, Adrian. So 40 years later Tony receives word that Veronica has died and has left him something. The story leads us to how this affects the relationship with his ex wife and daughter, and how Tony deals with all of this.
Now I’m not sure if the novel is in the first person, but I suspect it is. There are revelations that come in the story from Tony’s point of view. I like the way the story unfolds, how you’d let go of the small revelations first and then the bigger ones as you become more comfortable with the past.I think that the title refers to how unfinished business can have an effect decades after the events. If it’s left too long though then you may end up being the only character that wants to revisit the event. Others may have dealt with it already, in fact they probably have.
I found the film intriguing.
