Mark Jenkin directs George MacKay, Callum Turner and Emily Daglish-Laine in this time warp drama where a mysterious fishing boat returns to a village 30 years after vanishing and two men join its crew hoping for better fortune.
Feels like a cult novella. Probably Jenkin’s most accessible work to date but still niche, parochial and pleasingly bonkers. Grittily beautiful.
