Synopsis

Our take

The flooded Somerset plains are muddy with family secrets in Hope Dickson Leach’s acclaimed debut, starring a riveting Ellie Kendrick (Game of Thrones). Bringing the realist style of the Dardenne brothers to the English countryside, this intimate tale of loss mourns the precarity of farming life.
