David Hartley returns to his family home after a seven year absence in Birmingham, guided by a group of mysterious pagan figures, his return causes a stir.
If I were thinking aloud, I'd say this is an almost niche drama, it's not one that's going to be to everyone's taste, but it definitely has a certain appeal.
The main questions here, why is David back, and what does he want?
I've read a few reviews, with people calling it typical Shane Meadows, and I get that, once you're aware who's behind it, you will spot the signs, the free flowing dialogue perhaps the most obvious sign.
I absolutely loved those opening sequences, beautifully shot, visual, the music throughout is tremendous, production values are veru good.
I was glad of the opening texts, they helped give us a little context of why The Hartleys are in the position that they are.
Pacing will be an issue for some I suspect, it is slow, it is heavy, but you may well consider it quite absorbing.
Contemporary dialogue and visuals may not work for some, but it does have a unique look and feel.
6/10.
