John Skillpa, ein ruhiger aber freundlicher Einwohner der kleinen Provinzstadt Peacock, hat ein Geheimnis. Wenn John von der Arbeit nach Hause kommt, verwandelt er sich in Emma Skillpa, seine imaginäre, fürsorgliche Ehefrau. Sein bis dahin unentdecktes Doppelleben gerät völlig aus den Fugen, als Emma bei einem Zugunglück zum ersten Mal von Bewohnern der Kleinstadt gesehen wird. Während John verzweifelt versucht, ihre Indentität zu vertuschen, übernimmt Emma immer mehr Kontrolle über ihr gemeinsames Leben – mit allen Konsequenzen. (Verleiher-Text)

I was honestly "enticed" by the trailer and the cast, so expectations were high. It's a fact that Peacock has a pretty decent (albeit rather unpleasant) atmosphere in places – especially when portraying the psyche of the main character/"heroine". The acting is indeed very appealing, the subject matter is quite original, the script is on a decent level, the directing is good, but I just didn't get what I was expecting, plus the potential that Peacock has (had) remained untapped many times over... A little more mystery to give the film a mystery thriller flavor would have worked much better in my opinion... As it is, it's "just" a decent intimate psychological drama. 70%

With such a nice premise and such a great cast, Lander could have tried to make something more ambitious. Cillian Murphy is very convincing as a madman, it’s a pity that the script forces him to do something uninteresting. Peacock is a small dose of depression and paranoia that can be rated negatively only with regards to the high expectations.
