What do you like about it? Why would you recommend it to someone?
It was such a moving portrayal of a family as they deal with the aftermath of suicide. The small, intimate conversations between the family members were heartfelt and honest. It also features some of the most beautiful landscapes around the UK. While the subject matter is heavy, there are some really uplifting moments that shine through (but remember to bring your tissues!)

What do you like about it? Why would you recommend it to someone?
This film is extremely violent and incredibly harrowing. It’s not for the faint of heart, but if you can handle it, I can’t recommend it highly enough. It’s an amazing piece of Australian cinema that had me gripped from start to finish. And the acting is brilliant, especially from Aisling Franciosi.
