Variety Reviews 'Savage House' Starring Claire Foy and Richard E. Grant

Variety has published a review of "Savage House," a black comedy starring Claire Foy and Richard E. Grant. The review describes the film as a "mordantly amusing tale of pretense, profligacy and the literally maddening pressures of the English class ladder."

The film is written and directed by an American filmmaker, with the review noting the direction carries "surgical cruelty." "Savage House" arrives 12 years after the director's debut feature, which the review characterizes as a "derivative indie romcom."

The review characterizes "Savage House" as "putridly funny," noting that in the film, "Faces are saved, barely, as the body goes wholly to ruin."
