Based on a play, Brief Encounter describes the brief affair of two adults who feel the weight of their responsibilities and struggle between morality and happiness. Focusing mostly on the woman, the film shows her anguish and emotional turmoil in great detail, not leaving much to the imagination.
The film is sad, it's clear from the beginning that the relationship is doomed, but the story is told delicately. They will get over it.
The film is short, but even so, not very concise. It has too much inner monologue that doesn't go anywhere. Actually, nothing in the film goes anywhere, except the trains I guess.
