Definitely not that many nice looking women living on Iona. No chance.

A film set on an island off a Scottish Island. Short on dialogue, long on Scottish island memes. However if you can get through the occasionally dragging plot and long periods of silence it's a good watch and with beautiful scenery and a cast with Negga and Henshall it's worth it.

Guardian

It's a striking piece, and director of photography Yoliswa von Dallwitz evocatively captures the exposed, untamed island landscape.

Rated: 3/5

Dog and Wolf

The film's pace is slow and quiet, like the island. Dialogue is sparse - and its sparseness powerfully implies that there is much that still cannot be said even after the passing of time.

Rated: 3/5

Alternative Lens

Negga's lead performance is strong, but the film's deliberately slow pacing and dour tone make the film a hard sit ...

Battle Royale With Cheese

Beautiful, savage and beguiling describes both the island and the central protagonist (stunning performance by Ruth Negga) of this film by writer/director Scott Graham.
