Nor is it about the masterful performances from the small cast, most especially from the lead, Florence Pugh, who although it is stated on the Blu-ray slick that she announces her presence to the film world in this tour de force performance, for me she had already made an impressive impact in Carol Morley's excellent 2014 film The Falling. It is something the director even speaks about in the films extra features.īut this review is not about the film itself, which I found to be a low budget masterpiece, with the framing of images that recall early Peter Greenaway, and editing from the Terrence Malick school of the unconventional.
