With few
words, the feeling of unease is ever present, as a young mother and her teenage
son return to the Scottish island from whence she came.

We are
not sure what has happened, why she left, who the father is, but it slowly
unravels as the film proceeds. The drama is gripping, but never devastating,
the reveal is unexpected but not shocking, and all in all, it’s a
“meh” kind of drama.

Failed
