London Evening Standard Ostensibly about decency and tough moral choices, these movies are actually an excuse to watch pretty people striding through pretty countryside. Rated: 2/5 Nov 25, 2011 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian There is little conventional suspense or action, just an undertone of violence, and a sense of hallucination and disorientation. Rated: 3/5 Nov 25, 2011 Full Review Empire Magazine Rated: 4/5 Nov 25, 2011 Full Review Patrick Gamble CineVue This life-affirming adventure into the abyss and back of one truly fascinating character has a social message that ought to be heard by all. Rated: 5/5 Dec 5, 2018 Full Review Joseph Walsh CineVue A film that will leave you with a haunting sadness, harrowing yet beautiful. Rated: 4/5 Aug 29, 2018 Full Review Graham Young Birmingham Post The pace is so pedestrian it's a wonder the entire cast aren't on Zimmer frames. Rated: 1/5 Jan 5, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews

Ian W Mumbling dialogue. The main characters doing 1000 mile stares every scene. Incredibly dull. Incredibly slow moving. The plot was thin, but amazingly managed to confuse. An awful waste of time. I couldn't wait for it to end. When it did, it was just one of those wtf moments. Avoid. Hideous. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/24 Full Review Audience Member Boring drivel. Only one character made any semblance of resistance. More animals died than occupiers. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member I've heard of "slow burn", but the wick's wet on this one. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Two hours I will never get back. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member The slow pacing of this film makes it an excellent choice if all you want is to sit with your computer on your lap to help you fall asleep. And fall asleep, I did. Not once, but several times. I always went back to the last scene I remembered but the connections among the characters is fuzzy and I doubt if being alert would have improved the movie. The pacing is glacial and it is difficult to determine how much time has past until the end, when the main character, Sarah Lewis, signs her name as among the dead in her family's Bible. Iwan Rheon is as creepy in this film as he is in Game of Thrones. What his character is supposed to represent is beyond me but the murkiness can be laid at the feet of the director. What was with the business of placing something under a rock in the side of a bridge? And Tom Wlaschiha as the German officer who supposedly had fallen in love with Sarah was just too stilted and too unattractive to make anyone believe in him. Although little was asked of Andrea Riseborough as Sarah, she found a stillness in the role that matched the glacial pace of the picture. The outstanding performance was Sharon Morgan as Maggie, who seemed to want to be the heart of the film. I just don't understand why George thought Maggie's horse was a collaborator or did he? Oh, well, it only wasted a Saturday night. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Devoid of character, plot, or substance. The movie dragged along with story lines that all petered out. Had potential unrealized. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
