Exceptional filming from Morley who elicits great material from young cast and shows certain looks and moments which it seems only women film directors do well. Material is certainly nutty and quite funny as girls faint all over the place to ultra-rapid editing (Chris Wyatt -
Close to the Enemy, '71, Dancing on the Edge, Top Boy, Criminal Justice, This Is England, Dead Man's Shoes, Greenaway films). Has a certain resonance of
Picnic at Hanging Rock and if it seems Roegy at times (I thought of
Don't Look Now more than once) notice son Luc behind camera as a producer.
Shot by Agnes Godard (
The Dream Life of Angels) with music by Tracey Thorn (Everything But the Girl).
Maisie Williams, Florence Pugh (coming over like a young Gillian Hills), Maxine Peake, Anna Burnett, Greta Scacchi, Rose Caton (the sensible one who doesn't faint), Monica Dolan, Mathew Baynton, Joe Cole.
Very interesting, but sort of didn't love it, though.
