The Exception

Director David Leveaux drapes WWII tension over a Gothic manor where duty meets distraction. A soldier peels back layers of secrecy around a reclusive aristocrat while romance simmers with the help of the household’s overlooked guest. A diverting enough chamber piece that forgets some curtains obscure more than they reveal.
