In Northern England, a man heads out on a journey into the woods to reconnect with the estranged hermit brother with whom he shared a complicated past that was altered by life-changing events decades ago.
Paul Carpenter reviewedOctober 22, 2025
A contemplative, slow reveal of a man who is tortured by life, and the torture he then inflicts on the people around him. Quiet, brooding but also tense and unsettling. Beautiful cinematography and sound, with lingering shots that force you to examine the imagery. The antithesis of most films released these days, it feels so different when we expect jump cuts every three seconds and constant camera changes during dialog. The acting from the four primary characters was exceptional, grounded and real with the true pain of regret visible in each word and glance. Well worth the watch.
