What to Know

Critics Reviews

Sally Newall Independent (UK) The Affair feels raw, both sexy and unsexy... but real, in a slick stylised package amped up with an evocative soundtrack. Everything's a contradiction, but I'm warning you, you'll fall for it. Oct 5, 2015 Full Review Gabriel Tate Daily Telegraph (UK) West and Wilson are astonishing, depicting not one but two three-dimensional characters as viewed through their own (as yet unexplained) biases, and sharing the sort of chemistry they don't teach at school. Rated: 4/5 May 21, 2015 Full Review Sam Wollaston Guardian The Affair becomes less and less obvious and more and more interesting as it goes along. May 14, 2015 Full Review Tom Fitzgerald and Lorenzo Marquez Tom & Lorenzo It's engrossing and it's definitely a case of the story being more than the sum of its parts. Jun 21, 2018 Full Review Ankita Chawla Scroll.in The Affair is the story of an affair in its most intense, psychologically-taxing, emotionally draining, inglorious reality. May 31, 2017 Full Review Euan Ferguson Observer (UK) It's all done with great style and skill, if an understandable frustration in hindsight on behalf of the third party, the viewer, to get at the objective truth.
