Hamish Considine arrives in Ireland to deal with his deceased Aunt's estate, when he's there he's involved in a serious car accident, an accident that lengthens his stay, enough for him to start asking why he feels a connection to the place.
I don't for The life of me understand some of the negative reviews, this film is far more absorbing and deep than some will have you believe.
This is one of those films that simmers throughout, you'll watch it, expecting some big moment of drama, it's bot really like that, it's a subtle, slow burner, everything is very measured.
The visuals are pretty good, I thought they may have shown a bit more of that incredible scenery, but it does look good.
It had an LGBT tag on it, I don't quite see the connection to be honest, and sexuality is not the purpose of the film, it's a film about discovery, but in a very different area.
I haven't seen much of leading man Cosmo Jarvis if I'm honest, but after this I'll definitely be keeping an eye out, I thought it was an impressive performance, he's repressed, he's angry, he's confused, he's unable to process all of the complex emotions that are suddenly thrust upon him, it's as if his world has been turned upside down, and he's left without the tools to deal with it.
8/10.
