Review by ˗ˏˋ suspirliam ˊˎ˗ ★★★★ 2
"I suppose every house around here has the same ghosts."
no doubt this will get severely overlooked and dismissed as 'just another boring A24 slow burn' but with an absolute powerhouse of a cast and a score that settles itself deep under your skin this powerful little film really deserves to not just slip under the radar!

Review by elvisthealien ★★★½ 6
what do you do when someone you love more than life itself commits an unforgivable act? This movie crushes a woman with this dilemma, it's painful to watch. I liked how this movie centers around an oyster/fishing business in a little village, it's a unique and interesting setting that made the slower paced first act more bearable. The soundtrack is mostly made up of uncomfortable noises that slowly rise and it creates an effective sense of unease. Also I'd like to go a while without watching another movie about misogynistic terrible men for a while, thanks. Seems like that's a very popular central theme in a lot of dramas I've seen recently.

As bleak as it’s subject matter. I don’t like seeing Paul Mescal this way at all. Emily Watson delivers a terrific performance. A haunting slow burn.
