Heart wrenchingly beautiful
21 September 2022
A young girl living on an island in the Hebrides at the beginning of WW1 falls in love, but her joy turns to deep despair.

It's rare we find a film like this. The story clutches you as soon as it starts. The music is so haunting and poignant. The acting from every single character in the film is top notch. The dialogue is only what needs to be said, with not a single word out of place. The direction is second to none and leads you through a young girls dream that becomes her worst nightmare.

These kind of films are what make me have a life long love of cinema.

They don't need special effects, they don't need blockbuster actors, they don't need trendy directors nor pretentious sound tracks.

If you love cinema, you will love this.
