Review of Dark River (2017) by Richard S — 23 Dec 2018
Alice played superbly by Ruth Wilson returns to the farm she left 15 years ago to escape the abusive attentions of her father. Her father having died in her absence, has left her the farm holdings in his will, much to the resentment of her brother who cared for both their father in his dying days and the farm in her absence. So begins an unbearably tense film as tension and resentment grows between the siblings as they fight for control of the farm, eventually leading to a tragic ending.
It's a bleak film but worth the pay off with outstanding performances from the cast. Not one you call enjoyable but certainly memorable for some time after viewing.
