What is The Sixth Commandment about

In The Sixth Commandment, an intriguing tale unfolds between Peter Farquhar (Timothy Spall), an inspiring teacher, and his young student, Ben Field (Éanna Hardwicke). Their shared passion for books and involvement in the Church of England laid the foundation for a perplexing criminal case that has captivated many.

The story also explores the suspicions surrounding Ben’s relationship with Peter’s deeply religious neighbour, Ann Moore-Martin (Anne Reid). Ann becomes a target of Field’s manipulations, leading to a chain of astonishing revelations and a highly publicised trial. Throughout The Sixth Commandment, viewers witness the initial allure, insidious gaslighting, intense police investigation, and ultimately, the long-awaited justice for Peter’s untimely demise.

Intertwined with the narrative’s compelling plot, the film also sheds light on the detrimental impact of isolation and loneliness. Moreover, it pays tribute to Peter and Ann as beloved mentors, cherished family members, and cherished friends.
