Richard E. Grant plays a vain novelist in 'The Lesson,' director Alice Troughton's feature film debut. Daryl McCormack and Julie Delpy also star.
And director Alice Troughton, in her feature debut, has just the right touch, straddling the line between introspective art-house fare and a satisfying mystery — not so much a whodunit as a who wrote it. Toss in a typically engrossing performance by Richard E. Grant and you’ve got a winner.
Sinclair, meanwhile, is trying to complete a long-awaited new novel. He is arrogant, petulant and evidently at one time immensely talented. During his own Q&A, he revives the old saw about how good writers borrow, but great writers steal. It’s something of a mantra of his, and he delivers it in front of the audience with a smug assurance that signals the regard with which he holds himself.
