It's a tough watch, and it's challenging because of the subject matter, but i thought it was handled sensitively and subtly. You will be able to establish very early on that the main character was sexually abused by her dad, and stayed away from the family farm for 15 years, but returned to reclaim the farm when her dad dies. I think that this is one of the best films I've ever seen for such incredible cinematography and the authentic way it handles the complex relationship between an abuser, their victim and the toxic dynamics between such families. I've worked extensively with children who have been sexually abused (a significant number were in isolated rural settings as well) and both Ruth Wilson, and the actress who played her younger self, were incredibly accurate in their depictions. So much so i found it difficult to watch. The pacing of the film was slow initially, but it picked up enough to keep me interested. It was nice to hear a different Yorkshire accent than sean beans as well. Even though I enjoyed it, it would be great to see a Yorkshire film that's more upbeat rather than the "It's grim up north" subject matter. Yes, we had Rita, Sue and Bob Too, but that was bloody ages ago! There's so much more to us than kestrels, poverty, sheep and rural incest.
