Review of Dark River

Dark River (2017)
6/10
Another Dark Tale from UK
2 December 2018
This is another film from UK about the struggle of rual farmers trying to make a living. In the case it is sheep herders of Yorkshire.

Ruth Wilson plays a daughter who returns to her family farm after the death of her father. She tries to reassume her farm life while dealing with her brother for the inheritance.

While Wilson gave a more controlled and internal performance, it is Mark Stanley who played the troubled brother who truly shone.

Normally one would not expect much happening in this type of low-budget inde dramas.

In the case it is the ending that proves less satisfying. And way too many shots towards the barn door opened towards the landscape.
