Excellent Psychological Film

Intelligent viewers will enjoy and appreciate the writing and performing in this film.Others may be disappointed at the lack of car chases, gunplay, blood and guts, and CGI monsters.However, some may be able to enjoy it, and look for more movies of a similar quality.Hopefully.Films, movies, tv, music, etc., of genuine quality are out there.Keep looking.Don't give up.?

I expected more

At first glance, this period drama seems poised to leave a lasting mark. The film opens with breathtaking visuals - sweeping shots of untamed landscapes. The cinematography is undeniably stunning. It's clear a lot of care went into crafting the visual world, and the cast.The lead character, a fiercely independent woman navigating the harsh constraints of a patriarchal society, is a particular highlight. Despite its aesthetic beauty and strong performance.By the end, I found myself unmoved and uninvested - appreciating the craft, but not the story.

Amateur and disappointing

This movie was high on my watchlist for a long time but I was so disappointed by it. The trailer made the film seem better than it actually was. Aside from the lead actress (O'Casey) who gave a "good enough" performance, the rest of the actors felt like bad community theatre or poorly produced local TV actors. One particularly bad French accent (and I got the point) really made me cringe.Moreover, the story wasn't even convincingly good for an hour let alone for 90 minutes. The plot was predictable and the ending was rushed. O'Casey's character is a teenage orphan whose mannerisms and dialogue feel out of place and too modern in a film set sometime in the 1800s. It was a 21st century femenist mindset cosplaying in Victorian Ireland. The costumes were of average quality.The only bright spot was the use of natural light and countryside scenery. I assume this was filmed in a rural area and the grounds and colour saturation played well into the film's grim premise. Style over substance because the rest of the film lacked quality.
