Alan Rickman stars in this simmering early 20th-century love story about a triangle between an aging factory owner, his young bride (Rebecca Hall) and his handsome protégé (Game of Thrones' Richard Madden).
"A Promise is a period romantic drama starring Richard Madden, Rebecca Hall, and Alan Rickman. Set in 1912, it follows a young engineer who is hired and taken under the wing of a factory owner, who has a young wife. As the young man and the woman spend so much time together, they fall in love, although she doesn’t admit her feelings until he is sent on a two-year journey. They promise to stay in touch and love each other until they are reunited. While it’s not a terribly original drama, it may appeal to those looking for a melancholic story or those who enjoy a well-executed period film with great costumes and sets. Additionally, Alan Rickman delivers another remarkable performance."
