Brilliant film. Sublime. It blew me away! Not words of praise usually garnered from social realism - but this movie genuinely transcends such trivialities as 'genre' or 'category' -- it's just so good, everywhere - narrative, script, photography, sound, performances (particularly the brothers) that it can't be ignored. Take a few bows, all involved!
Saw a trailer for this before the rerelease of Don't Look Now and without knowing anything else about it knew I had to see it. Went today in eager anticipation and was not disappointed. The first five or so minutes I wondered if the filming was going to prevent me getting on with it (I felt a bit motion sick from the opening shot, also), but after a little while was fully immersed, and by the end was not 'not noticing' the technique, but was absolutely finding it to enhance and deepen what is, as Mark says, a film of immense rich texture.
As well as what Mark notes, the historical quality of the film lends it something. Old films always have a strange, stilted, slightly 'apart' quality, as if they're coming from a slightly other place, and a time slightly before even their own present. Combine that with the juxtaposition of this retroactive methodology and modern setting and the world of the film and its characters feels of another time. This adds immensely to the film, about a place that very much is struggling with being out of time.
It's lingering and pondersome (not ponderous) in places and yet quick and pacy and was gone leaving me wanting more, which is a rare thing. It's very funny in places, very tense in others, it has huge amounts going on conveyed with a minimum of perfectly placed words (and the ADR nature of the dialogue means they do feel like they have been tactically 'placed' into the scenes). Just an excellent piece of work and one of my favourites this year.
About time Cornwall and Wales started taking on the braying 4X4 Waitrose brigade!
Yes, absolutely. Those terrible people with their paying for things. I mean, who needs their money. Oh, apart from the tax revenue to pay for things like health care, education etc. But I'm sure all those awful people in London would be happy to keep paying for the rest of the whingers in the UK, regardless of how much abuse they get sent.
Wake up and smell reality.
@@joet7644 OK, Anglo.
@@joet7644 LMAO I live somewhere like this and this is exactly the entitled self aggrandising attitude of second homers, no you’re not actually doing anything for us here , we were doing just fine until you lot arrived wrecked our communities and displaced the existing population to build your seaside holiday homes, a handful of developers and estate agents became obnoxiously rich, they’re grateful I’m sure.
I've just seen this. Beautiful, austere, minimalist film. It came across as an French arthouse from the 1930w / 1940s. Subtle (not boring) and thought provoking. I can see why Mark loved it so
It's a masterpiece, mostly middle class people will love it, although it should be mostly working-class people that love it.
The middle classes are always looking for authenticity (apart from their home towns they left for the big city) Too dumb to realise their presence in these places and their general globalist world view destroys them. I notice the presenter skirted over the issue describing it as a clash of cultures before going back to waffling on about film texture etc.
the scenes on the beach with the lad pulling the bass from the net had a really lovely look to them,i enjoyed the whole film and can relate directly to the whole films subject matter from both sides
sounds like Mark is talking into kazoo
He's getting harder to understand
He doing a homage to the audio in Bait by the sound of it!! :D
This film was wonderful. I was afraid it would be a pretentious cineaste's thing that critics loved but audiences hated. No, it's a good film. See it if you can.
Finally saw this yesterday and for me it really is something special. Thank you to Mark for doing his bit to raise its profile.
Saw it last night on streaming service. I loved it! It's a John Sayles-esq portrair of a community done with Nicolas Roeg-esq editing. Really wish I had seen in in the cinema!
Mark now has named it his favourite film of the year... I quite agree. Unique in this modern age of cinema.
Saw it this evening - outstanding craftsmanship.
Thanks for the recommendation mark, saw it today and absolutely loved it
Glowing Kermodian review, and it seems refreshingly lo-fi. Hmm.
I liked it but I found the lack of resolution unsatisfying. A lot of conflicts and plot points are raised but then get dropped.
This is one amazing film. Raw, powerful and engaging. Congratulations to all involved.
Keep up great work. Your contribution to the media and criticism world is enviable and refreshing
Keep up the good comments. Your contribution to the humanoid landscape is luxurious and effervescent.
Sublime cinema. An instant masterpiece.
Saw the trailer of this at the BFI Southbank. It looks interesting.
Twat with braces is a better villain than Thanos.
What a pity it's not getting a wider release, only playing at a few art-house cinemas. Will track it down though.
I have a feeling this is going to be one of those films people will look back on in a few years time and praise highly. Just judging from Mark's review and the comments section posts it certainly sounds like one of the better made films of the year. It isn't something I would have usually considered but watched the trailer and am looking forward to seeing this some time.
It is on general release but obviously won't have as many copies knocking around as films with big Hollywood distribution. It is in quite a few 'regular' cinemas as well as arthouse ones.
Just watched this movie, loved it. Thanks for the recommendation on the podcast.
It may not look like it but this movie has one of the best cinematography, it really helped tell the story
Only having seen the trailer, I felt it had a feeling of Coeur Fidele by Jean Epstein. Going to book tickets to see it in the cinema ASAP
89 minutes long? That sounds cool.
Sounds really good
Looks and sounds fantastic.
loving the clash of classes,working class v middle class
Weird to see this just after getting back to the home counties from our cornish holiday cottage (prosecco in fridge and all)... fam are originally sailors from falmouth so it must be ok though lol
Loved this film.
Amazing film.
Hey Kermodeandmayo! Love your reveiws but why can't I find anything on Downfall/Der Untergang? Strange and very area53-like....
Any Americans here like it?
Why do all the reviews from today sound so bad? Isnt this a radio program?? Sounds like mark is talking from the end of a tunnel
Because he is at a film festival and not in the studio with Simon.
Considering the film he's reviewing... seems rather appropriate.
I can't remember the last time I was so bloody bored out of my skull. It felt like watching a soap opera set in Cornwall with a thread bare story
Man sets his nets, picks up what he caught, goes in pub, sauabbles with some people. Then repeat
Sure it looked great, but you need a decent storyline. If this was shot in the regular ratio & colour, people certainly wouldn't be gushing all over it!
Completely disagree that all films need a "decent storyline". Films can also be an experience rather than the conventional three part narrative arc. A unique and very special film.
Why not put in a link so people can watch the movie
4 bass is over the daily catch limit- 🤐
I D E N T I T Y
Have a cigarette now, you've clearly blown your wad. This is one of the worst films I have ever seen and I love art films.
😂
From what I’ve seen it looks and sounds and is acted like a bad amateur film
I bet you've seen all of the fast and furious films
Sounds tedious
It is, tremendously so. Awful.
Traditional industries have gone so locals should be grateful to the grockles.
Reviews like this make you realise just how vacuous Kermode is
First sensible comment in this section. Just how & why is he seen as some pseudo film aficionado? And why oh why do people listen?
Just like the pub. Absolutely awful film. Where can I get my £3.49 back?
