Right from the off, the film is bothered by a curiously over-emphatic sound track, which is distracting. Kate Winslet is extremely grumpy when James McArdle calls for tips on fossil-hunting, gradually thaws as she falls for sour-looking Saoirse Ronan. After an explicit sex scene too far, Saoirse invites the other woman to be her 'house guest' - presumably sharing it with the husband, when he's around - who's a cunt, by the way - and it all falls apart. If it's about the difficulties of being two women together in that era then - yeah - I think we had guessed that.
Ah - it's by the writer of God's Own Country, which was the same story but with two lads. Despite one of them being Josh O'Connor I'm glad I didn't bother.
With Gemma Jones, Clare Rushbrook, Alec Secareanu, Fiona Shaw. DP Stéphane Fontaine (A Prophet, Jackie), music Volker Bertelmann & Dustin O'Halloran.
I wonder if Saoirse had a bottom double.
