Storytelling should have a good flow where the pieces fit together, and for the average novice viewer of a 90 min. film they shouldn't be left confused. First, too many flashbacks especially when we have an obvious family relationship problem. We get it! Second, how farming/ranching tenancy works in England left me confused, and if as poorly run as was shown then they need better laws. Also, passing on responsibilities to family members was just a mess left by someone or some organization. The buying & management scenes were too contrived. Third, the sibling arguments seemed forced, and not common sense soluble. Last, the shooting episode, and who was shot and the brother & sister's response left me with what's-going-on?
