Deep fractures within a family dynamic begin to surface during a getaway to the Isles of Scilly.
I was dragged to watch this whilst my parents were visiting me. Their basis for seeing it was that it had received a good right up in The Guardian. By the end of the film, we all thought it was absolute rot, and that we'd seen a different film altogether. Incredibly pitiful, annoying characters with terrible dialogue (when there was any). At least 3 people walked out during the showing, I rather wish I had joined them. I was hoping throughout for something resembling a plot to take form, but none was forthcoming. Turgid.
I totally agree with the review by sfchapman. Some shots were totally redundant. Some of the discussion about cooking was mildly interesting, but having seen 'Unrelated' since, I sense Joanna Hogg has one trick. Unfortunately that appears to be making dull films about upper middle class families on holiday. I was rather hoping that the final scene of a helicopter departing, would end with it on fire and the main characters dying in flames. Would have made up for the rest of the nonsense.
