Brilliant in its nightmarishness, infuriating in its refusal to commit to a narrative to invest in. The performances are hard to rate, given how dreamlike the story starts and finishes, leaving huge unanswered questions - was some or all of it in hell? Is an ending needed? Who are we anyway? The Lynchian comparison is partly valid - I’m ok with having watched a ghost story with pretentions of grandeur but despite the amazing time shift…

The film does a great job at setting a mood, and I think the acting was really good. Was the movie about the town, or was it a "mystery"? I don't know that the answer matters because neither were terribly interesting or entertaining. follow me at https://IHATEBadMovies.com or facebook IHATEBadMovies

Walked out after the time travel twist. Ridiculous, moody and boring

A dreamlike, haunting little ghost story that reminded me a lot of Children of the Stones and The Owl Service, both shows I'm a fan of. This is my second Mark Jenkin film, and I like how it carries over the textured aesthetic from Enys Men while telling a story that feels a lot more accessible for a wider audience. A boat vanishes, resurfaces decades later, and the crew that takes it back out gets thrown thirty years into the past. From there…

I hate this type of pretentious bullshit. These types of movies are just liberal arts projects aimed at Cannes Film Festival and such audiences, not for us mere mortals who like to just enjoy good storytelling. 🙄

If you saw Mark Jenkin's "Enys Men" then you might have an idea what to expect in this similarly photographed and styled mystery. This time, it's a Cornish fishing boat called the "Rose of Nevada" which has a reputation mired in suspense that serves as the focal point. It requires a crew of three and those consist the enigmatic captain (Francis Magee), "Liam" (Callum Turner) and "Nick" (George MacKay). The latter needs the money after his…

Surreality is an intriguing premise in entertainment, and, when skillfully employed (generally in a sci-fi context), it can make for compelling viewing. But deft handling of the material involved is what makes all the difference, and that’s where this latest effort from writer-director Mark Jenkin doesn’t quite hit the mark. Life in a coastal fishing village in the UK’s Cornwall region hasn’t been what it once was for 30 years. Overfishing,…

This quietly surreal movie is very understated in its presentation. But in its DNA, you can find parts of "Triangle" as well as parts of "Ghost ship" and also "And When the Sky Was Opened", which is an episode of The Twilight Zone from the original series back in 1959. It is quiet and it is understated, but it is unsettling and engaging. I really like the portrayal of a normal person being put in such extraordinary circumstances and finding his…
