A rare and wonderful thing, 29 July 2008
Author: Primefilm from United Kingdom
A stunningly shot low budget feature, this was a real treat at the festival I saw it at (Cornwall 2007). It had a few showings early this year and went down a treat with film critics. It tells a disturbing tale of a woman and her two children trapped in a dark dream like environment where the search for "secrets" to escape the apocalyptic situation is crucial. However other characters appear and the audience becomes as confused as the woman and we start to question the integrity of the situation. The performances were absolutely superb and faultless to view, despite the lack of fleshy dialogue in some places, the small ensemble of actors really packed a punch.
The plot was exciting and mysterious but I personally feel it needed polishing and fleshing out far more. The story unfolded beautifully but the dialogue was weak in some places. The camera work was fluid-like and detailed and Mark Jenkin's top notch editing was slick and (again) 100 per cent faultless.
