I was drawn in by A24, Emily Watson, and Ireland - what a combination!
Slow burn is an understatement - we are frogs slowly simmering to death. There is a 10 second AH HA moment and the rest is waiting for the film to get started. It never really goes anywhere.
The ending was so frustrating that I was actually angry. I felt like I was taken for a ride.
I'm not sure why this film was made but it seems a waste of a great location and fabulous actors with a MEH story line. The fact that she lets her son drowned is the only highlight. But then the movie goes back to being a dirge. It may be true to life but it is not great story telling.
