Our take

After receiving extensive praise in festivals and winning the Best First Film and Best Actress prizes at Locarno, this film unjustly fell off the radar. Subtly portrayed, repressed emotions become majestic in this heart-wrenching tale set within the wild, ragged landscapes (and faces) of Ireland.
