i m not scared yet, but i m thinking i m going to be. yes, absolutely. it s a stylish slow burner, as you can see, and intriguing, sets up the characters beautifully. and there s some dark comedy there, as i say, in the way that this woman is kind of paying tribute to her past and feeling a little bit guilty about what they ve done with the family farmhouse. they ve demolished it basically for this incredibly gleaming, modern home. and she and her husband are up to some pretty shifty business. and then kind of a lot of guilt comes out when she has memories of her mother. there s a lot about welsh folklore, about the land, about the environment, about our connection to the past, about the dangers of wealth and greed. there s also an element of the seven deadly sins in there. it becomes increasingly kind of dramatic when all four members of the family have dinner guests and things take a bit of a turn, to put it mildly. and it s nicely filmed, isn t it? it looks, visually, it
it s gold again for laura muir. on another golden night for the brits in munich, muir retains her crown as the 1,500 metre european champion.

yes, she s incredibly selfish. but i do think a little bit more depth is revealed towards the end of the film, and ijust enjoy decoding her character. i just thought it was really fun to do that. yes, you might be right there. you re probably a better person than me because i was easily irritated by her. but i think, yes, you re right that more is revealed by the end. i don t want to say any more than that, because obviously i don t want to do any plot spoilers. i suppose if you did know her in real life, she d be sort of life and soul of the party, and you would invite her to every social gathering you had, and she would be the social butterfly. so i guess she s kind of fun to have around? yes, and she s shown from a female perspective and what i like about this, it s a female writer director. it s not the kind of manic pixie dream girl trope you see who s very sexualised in films by men. so i liked that about it and it just felt it rang true to me. it s interesting. it s an interes
