A beast broken, he finds himself lost in the world of his long deceased mother. Young teen Evan, also involved in the accident befriends Hamish.

His rage accelerates to violence, and ultimately his vibrant release.

Critics Consensus

Relying more on atmosphere than straightforward storytelling, It Is in Us All burnishes its slow-building story with outstanding cinematography.

Campbell-Hughes [get]s into the minds, if not completely under the skin, of her troubled male characters. Yet her visual confidence and eye for emotive detail mark her out as an exciting filmmaking talent.

2.5/5

It Is in Us All is a rather strange, rather enigmatic film about frustrated masculinity and while it is, on several levels, an impressive debut it doesn’t quite bring to the screen a sufficiently satisfying narrative.

3/5

An ambitious portrait of male emotional repression and the unsettling ways those emotions can suddenly spill out.

The delicate balance between macho masculinity and profound grief forms the emotional core of this powerful Irish character study.

Antonia Campbell-Hughes’ debut feature It Is in Us All asks a question with its title. What is in us all? … thematically rich as it is dark proving that Campbell-Hughes is a director who has talent to burn.

A gore-free body horror that manages to be completely unnerving without conforming to any of the usual expectations that come with the territory.

Classy filmmaking with a superb lead performance from Cosmo Jarvis. Moody and poetic.

It's a pretty film with an intense story start, but it languishes after the first 20 minutes. Jarvis holds his own, but he works more with his broken arm than any lines.
