Broadcasting and reception
The film was first shown on BBC Two on 2 January 1995. In America, it aired on 2 October 1994 as part of PBS's Masterpiece Theatre series.
The review in Entertainment Weekly gave the film a C grade, and called it a "slow muddle", saying that it was "frequently impossible to tell why Marie is rattled and teary: Is it because of her husband's philandering or the spectral visions she has of the boy turned blue from the freezing water?" and that the rest of the cast "seem lost and irrelevant" because of the emphasis on Thompson. Conversely, on the British Film Institute website Sergio Angelini praised "the finesse with which it introduces supernatural elements into an otherwise straightforward-seeming narrative about a couple coping with marital problems".
Background
The story of the blue boy, a four-year-old who drowned in nearby Loch Eck, is told about the Coylet Inn at Coylet.
