Review of Dark River (2017) by Tony P — 05 Nov 2018
These low budget Screen Yorkshire productions play like a version of pre aircrash Emmerdale Farm with their gritty realism of Yorkshire country life.
In this interesting little film a sibling brother Joe and sister Alice (Ruth Wilson) try and cope looking after their family farm after the death of their father.
We see him (Sean Bean) in flashback cameos that must have taken all of one day to film.
We learn that the father may have sexually assaulted his daughter? Or at least that was the impression I got although nothing was shown.
All we know is that Alice was driven away and it took fifteen years to return to the rat infested, dilapidated farm.
Joe has severe anger management issues!
