      Mike McCahill Guardian Writer Ed Talfan and director Gareth Bryn find in their characters' apparent isolation something simultaneously beautiful, terrifying and sad. Rated: 3/5 Apr 7, 2016 Full Review Kevin Harley Total Film The twists are guessable, but Bryn makes seductive work of the route there, every candle-lit corridor and harrowed tree holding our gaze. Rated: 3/5 Jan 2, 2017 Full Review Andrew Marshall Starburst Despite nothing overt occurring, there is a creeping sense of otherness about the whole situation, and it's precisely this lingering lack of certainly that makes the film so compelling. Rated: 9/10 May 13, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member Shades of Lennie Small (Of Mice and Men) from the wonderful Mark Lewis Jones.. Claustrophobic and mesmerising. Proper goosebumps at the end. Difficult to find but worth the hassle! (Via bfi.org.uk) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Stanley (Mark Lewis Jones) is a man who lives a life of solitude in a farm on his own. Until one day Sara (Annes Elwy) and Iwan (Dyfan Dwyfor) crash their car nearby. They seek help from Stanley and he takes them back to his farm. As time goes on the relationship between Sara and Iwan is confusing. Sometimes they seem scared to touch each other and other times won't stop. The farm turns into a paradise for Iwan and Sara until Iwan grows increasingly frustrated by how much time Sara and Stanley have and becomes unhinged. The film was shot mainly using natural light, and is beautifully shot. Although this film wasn't heavy on dialogue the visual aspects of this film kept you entertained. The small cast are very talented and well acted. It's hard to put down what genre this film is. But if I would have to say I think it would be a psychological thriller. The subplots in this film become integrated with the main plot. The best part of this film was the beginning, at the ending it became something predictable. The ending was good but the reveals weren't shocking or unexpected. I wouldn't say this film is for everyone. It is a very slow burn which seems to focus on the relationships and how they change throughout the film, at the ending is where it picks up the most pace. The strongest points in my opinion were the actors and cinematography but the writing is what lacked. If you enjoy low-budget thriller films or slowly passed films, you would enjoy this. Like I said earlier I don't believe this film is for everyone. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member If you think this movie is good then you should watch Jacob's Ladder and see this whole "everything happens in a split second" schtick. And Jacobs Lader has the added benefit of no sister fucking. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
