An island unto herself

Iona (2015)

Written & directed by Scott Graham this film stars Ruth Negga, Ben Gallagher, Douglas Henshall and Tom Brooke. A woman travels with her teenage son back to the remote Scottish island she grew up on.

While a little on the short side this is still an interesting little independent film about small communities and the relationships between the people living in them. There is a lot to enjoy here in this simple drama built around people failing to share things with each other. I also really enjoyed some of the shots of the landscape as well as the director's confidence in using silence.


4/5
