This is beautifully told, executed, sharp and executed.

Another leftfield art house film with wide appeal. Well crafted, edited with strong sound design. Unexpected twist in the second act. Strong performances from the lead roles.

It's not a paint by numbers film and it's not a talky film, so if you are looking for escape to something (very) different with unexpected twists and turns told in quiet, measured pacing. This film is for you. Much of the films quiet stillness is reflected in the youngest of the girls who is mute/apraxia debilitated by the gang at school. The still life painted vision of the country is mercurial, dark and unsettling. The rumble of the danger runs from start to finish. Well crafted play on suspension, safely held on the stilts of strong performances from every character on screen.
