Athina Rachel Tsangari directs Caleb Landry Jones, Henry Melling and Rosy McEwen in this period rattler where a farming community is torn apart by outside forces.

Went into this one blind and was hypnotised by it. Drip feed of story and context and character. Small anachronisms seem purposefully there to throw you off. The pastoral setting is not idyllic and echoes many a folk horror. Then everything goes to shit. It is slow paced and wilfully obscure at time but that just edges the mystery and the dread along. A modern gem, could quite obviously be an allegory for Brexit.
