The family featured are from England, the husband is an evil person, they flee to the USA for safety and to claim an inherited property, which includes a rather large homestead in bad need of maintenance. (Actually filmed in Spain.)
The mother is sick and before she dies tells the kids to keep it a secret, bury her in the garden, all stay together until the oldest, George MacKay as Jack, turns to a legal age to be the head of the family.
This is not a straightforward story, it is clear from the start that strange things are going on but only hints at what. When it all comes together during the last 30 minutes or so we see two parallel stories, one in real time and one some months earlier, that explains exactly what happened.
The movie also has Anya Taylor-Joy as Allie who works in the local town's public library, she and Jack become friends then much more. I enjoy movies she is in, she is a good actress and has such interesting, exotic looks.
Interesting movie but you have to pay attention to everything. I found it on the Kanopy site via my public library subscription, I streamed it via ROKU. My wife skipped.
