A salt of the earth story with gorgeous cinematography, editing and body of organic sound design — Christopher Andrews debuts a uniquely humble yet stylistic brand of filmmaking.
A tit for tat reign of terror is inflicted between neighbouring sheep farmers on the hills of Galway, Ireland. Here, an honest violence among men unfolds, and where youth’s naiveté meets wrath, the film cleverly oscillates between innocence, horror, and shame.
To call this story simple is not an insult. Its melodrama is as substantial as it is unpretentious. I should even say elegant. Recommend.
