Heartlands (2002)
A hidden gem

One of the best movies I've seen in a long-time! (We rented it purely on the off-chance (there was nothing else that caught our eye).
Beautifully acted and well-directed, what really made this film for me was the cinematography; the film is beautiful shot. From the grim cityscapes of Sheffield, across the scenic Peak District, to the garish tourist-trap that is Blackpool, the film brings northern Britain to life.
The soundtrack, by British folk legends Kate Rusby and John McCusker is haunting.
A wonderful, under-rated movie that helped restore my faith in the power of cinema after one too many Hollywood CGI-fests.
Enjoy.
