The Waiting Room

[KLAXXON]

THE WAITING ROOM, the feature debut of Academy Award-nominated writer/director Roger Goldby, is a touching British romantic comedy which explores the tangled love lives of a group of Londoners. Anne-Marie Duff stars a single mum, who is drawn into a damaging affair with her neighbour (played by Rupert Graves); and Ralf Little as a care worker, under pressure from his girlfriend to start a family. Following a chance encounter at a train station, these two strangers find their lives start heading in unexpected directions… This character driven ensemble piece presents a fresh, edgy and totally romantic view of contemporary life and love in London.







Three south London couples try to make sense of their love lives in this romantic drama starring Ralf Little and Anne-Marie Duff
In writer-director Roger Goldby's deft drama about love and loneliness in London, single mum Anna (Duff) falls for Stephen (Little) but doesn't get his name or number. Meanwhile George (Graves) is obsessed with Anna, which is unfortunate seeing as he lives next door and is married to Anna's best friend, Jem (Telford).

Goldby is brilliant at establishing character in a few wordless frames. In quick succession we're introduced to our modestly-sized ensemble cast. Anna is feisty but lonely and her brief affair with unemployed stay-at-home dad George is a thoroughly convincing mistake (he is played by the gorgeous Rupert Graves after all), while the go-getting Jem can't help but belittle her hubbie.

This is a film full of telling detail. The sight of Ralf Little urinating, for example, is the low-key culmination to a lovely scene. We see him get up, naked, pad down the corridor scratching his balls and yawning. He wearily returns to flush the toilet, lower the seat and mop up any droplets that have found their way to the floor. Yes, this is a domesticated man - a sad creature to behold. Worse, his girlfriend is snuggled up in bed, fully clad in pyjamas. We know, instinctively, that this relationship is doomed.
