I liked how this demonstrated the high stakes in every potential misstep. Short and striking.

A lovely, restorative and unfussy film about valuing the time spent with others. It's an ideal way to kick off Sundance (properly, since After Yang wasn't a premiere) as it's got that trademark tenderness and quirkiness that give little-films-that-could their charm. I debated my rating but it's boosted by the power of its ending, sentiment be damned.

Suffers from a problem I have with a lot of indie British films (especially period, but especially horror), in a word: unconvincing.
So I am hard to please with an indie period British horror film but I still feel it was oversold. Some bits saved it from total mediocrity.
I meant to watch this during Sundance and I'm only now catching up with my screener. I'll count it in my lineup, though probably won't extend that to other films I may catch later. Definitely an odd one. Lots left to be desired, lots to ire. I watched most of it last night then had a weird dream about it so it's lived in my head in a very strange way I still haven't digested.
I'm a huge fan of the project and I thought this did justice to the first one. Was a pleasure chatting to Kevin Macdonald about it the other day. My fav of Sundance.
Could've used more mask discipline and less airtime to MAGA people but it's a film that takes every point of view.
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
It did actually start to win me over as it went along. The film's strength is in the quiet moments and the general arc of growth and recovery it wants to tell. Then it indulges in a soapy moment of melodrama for its ending and sabotages what it had going. Dialogue is not its strong suit at all.
