Sarah Wooley's adaptation of Joyce Carol Oates's novella Black Water was a richly atmospheric throwback to an era when intelligent young women were expected to simper and pout in the presence of powerful men. Loosely based on the Chappaquiddick incident of 1969 - when a car driven by Edward Kennedy crashed into a lagoon in Massachusetts, killing his passenger, Mary Jo Kopechne - the drama slipped back and forth between scenes of a cocktail party seduction and the dying thoughts of the victim trapped underwater. A senseless tragedy dissected with icy restraint. Clive Davies - The Times.
