Saw this film at the Woodstock Film Festival and went in cold – not really knowing the premise or anything about the director. I saw some solid actors in the piece and thought why not?
This movie was mesmerizing
The acting was incredible. The set pieces were stunning.
I couldn’t take my eyes off George MacKay (1917)
Tilda Swinton and Michael Shannon are always good. I don’t want to say too much and I wish the imdb description said even a little less but please try to see this film if you are open to creative and impactful storytelling.
I dare say this may land as my film of the year
Deep themes of human frailty are deftly explored and I was incredibly moved by the piece.
