Youth in isolation

Shell (2012)

Written & directed by Scott Graham this film stars Chloe Pirrie, Joseph Mawle, Michael Smiley and Iain de Caestecker. A seventeen year old girl lives with her father and they run a remote petrol station.

This is a minimalist coming of age tale set in the Scottish highlands, a back drop that does provide some lovely landscapes. I found the plot to the fairly sparse and while entertaining not overly remarkable as a coming of age film. The film is well made but a little creepy on occasion.


3/5
