I saw this film at the Maine International Film Festival where it had its first public screening. This film is inspired by a true story and introduces the audience to a young man and a young woman. They initially do not appear to have any connection to each other. Both start to make their way to a down-on-its-luck, out-of-season English coastal resort community. Their travels are accompanied by a haunting soundtrack that overflows with unease and foreboding. They encounter a series of other characters who have their own quirks and emotional neediness. Some may recur and the audience will be pondering how they fit into the story. The man and woman both occasionally say and do things that offer possible outcomes for where this journey is headed. The film is skillfully made. The filmmakers are enormously successful in creating a tone of apprehension and, despite an economy of dialog, the actors manage to create interest and concern within the audience for what lays ahead for them. It is a dark journey and many may not like what they find at its end.
