Returning to the source


Dark River (2017)

Written & directed by Clio Barnard this film stars Ruth Wilson, Mark Stanley and Sean Bean. After 15 years away a woman returns home to the family farm after her father dies but is haunted by the abuse she suffered at the hands of her father.

This is a really well told tale of rural life and abuse which is not easy to watch and will be upsetting to some. About the only part of the film I did not like was the ending which is a little too familiar and forced for my taste but otherwise this is a very good watch. Well made and well acted this film definitely captures the location it is made in.

4/5
