A good performance from the lead (Amy Crowdies), and her journey is certainly interesting, but it is difficult to know what we are expected to take from the film. In linear terms, is the story just Amy's reaction to her own grief? Are we being told not to have anything to do with outsiders, because they are superficial? Don't trust lads who wear make-up?
For a modestly budgeted slow-burner, I found a lot to enjoy here. The locations are suitably isolated to lend us a sense of Melanie's isolation, and the chilly weather adds to this, whilst helping create some picturesque small-town settings. My score is 6 out of 10.
