Trap for Cinderella (15)

Drama

A young girl suffering from amnesia after surviving a house fire that takes her childhood friend's life, begins a tormented road to recovery.


The critical consensus

Even as a Sunday night TV drama, this feels overplayed.

**(*)(*)(*)Siobhan Synnot, The Scotsman, 07/07/2013

There's a very classy cast in supporting roles (Kerry Fox, Frances de la Tour, Alex Jennings) but this fails to come alive.

**(*)(*)(*)Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 11/07/2013

The film is closer to a rip-off of Single White Female, injected with a heavy dose of Daphne Du Maurier.

**(*)(*)(*)Anthony Quinn, The Independent, 11/07/2013

Solid genre fare.

***(*)(*)Anna Smith, Empire Online

Maybe a Hitchcock or Chabrol could have made something gripping from the melodrama and mystery of it all but this feels workmanlike and obvious.

**(*)(*)(*)Allan Hunter, Daily Express, 12/07/2013

Plausibility is not the film's strong point, though homoeroticism looks as if it might be.
