I was almost put off by the relatively low IMDB rating, but then thought about the mix of talents involved and felt there must be something more worthwhile about the film that others were either missing, or ignoring.

I'm glad I persevered.

The realism of what it/we would be like, if the thin veneer of our western world life was ripped away, had me gripped.

Julia Roberts and Mahershala Ali excelled.

It's an understated film, that offers a little space to confront some of the feelings about our fragile world that are elicited by its themes.

The ending was just great. We are all creatures of comfort.

We must have our needs met if at all possible; the world 'makes more sense' to us when they are.

More of this kind of thing, thank you.

Just watch it. There's some profundity in there, that we old fogies all recognise, and teenagers will benefit from seeing it on screen.

And some truths, in that the teenage world is still learning how to navigate the 'new normal', post the #MeToo revelations. It's not a world we want them to still be inhabiting, but it's a fact that many of them still are. Hopefully that will change soon. It's not the job of this director to make that happen.

I thought the portrayal of the teenage mind and relationships was well handled, in the time allowed.

Lovely location in the Cotswolds, England (UK).

I'm glad I watched it. Well done Guy Davies, in his directorial debut.
