Not often you find movies that surprise you this way. I was looking for a british horror/thriller movie (my new favourite genre!) and came accross this movie. Highly recommend it!
The story flows in a lovely way, so much that you don't expect the scary turns that come later as it all develops. I felt connected to Lissie's character (great acting work from Lara Goodison) from the beginning, and it was very interesting and gripping to see how her story unfolded. Miscarriages are not often well reprensented on screen, and the grief that the women go through when that happens either. It was heartbreaking to see Lissie's grief and I thought that it was dealt with in a sensitive and interesting way in this movie.
The arrival of the Midwife is sudden, but as the story progresses you also get attached to her unusual self. I loved the tone of the movie, thought that the direction and production design were great vehicles to express Lissie's downfall.
The biggest suprise - with no spoilers!! - comes at the end and it's totally worth a watch.
Worth mentioning Kara (Ellie Morris) - a joy to see on screen and a great character to counter the Midwife's mysterious personality.
