Intense and claustrophobic story of historic family secrets and abuse, full of long scenes where characters look meaningfully at each other rather than saying anything. Filmed on Iona, but doesn't really capture the scenery. Overplays its dense themes which bogs down the tensions or sympathies it's trying for, so it all gets a bit tedious and difficult to care what happens. By the same director as Shell and the same bleak genre of past tragedies repeating themselves today. Only 2 entries. -- Last edit: 2019-04-13 03:34:22 |
