you either buy that he was let into that family by imagining scenarios that weren't at all played out (or even seriously hinted at) in the film and you think the acting wiritng and directing is good based on that imagining or you see the film for what it is and consider it mediocre at best.;-)
Seriously though... I did consider that the family was basically aware of his indiscretions but overlooked them. I though, thought that if that was true, it was for the sake of the daughters happiness and not some desire to continue the family dynasty and cement their social standing -- a pretty ridiculous notion consideringt there's no way the people in their class would ever take Rhys seriously as one them and because the family was NEVER shown in any kind of upper class social situation with their peers trying to apss him off as worthy. Anyway for me, the believability of what Auph proposes hinges on this...
"Rhy's interests in the actress were not so much indiscrete, as considered inconsequential, overlooked by a family who believed that grooming Rhy's for introduction into proper society took precedence over all else once his commitment to the daughter was established."
Now forgetting for the moment that we've already established how ridiculous it is to think that Rhys was let into the family to continue their dynasty, he never once deomonstrated on screen that he genuinely cared about or was committed to the daughter. He didn't even fully demonstrate that he was conmitted to his new lifestyle until he started killing people which was a couple or few years after they let him in.
I just can't make the leap and think that the brother and father, who both demonstrated a warmth and a genuine love for their sister/daughter would callously overlook her happiness for the sake of trying to establish some low life social climbing philanderer as belonging in high society in order to further the "dynasty."
IF that was the story it was even more poorly done then I thought.
Also, the daughter was not at all unattractive.
