A wildlife volunteer’s daily observations of a rare flower turn into a metaphysical journey that forces her as well as the viewer to question what is real and what is nightmare. Mark Jenkin’s Cornish film, set in 1973, follows a wildlife volunteer on an uninhabited island off the British coast. From there, you are left to decide what is happening, as her descent into haunted terrain, physical or actual, takes us for a provocative, masterful journey. (U.K., 2023, 91m)
“***** …. spellbinding … superbly haunting … I’ve watched it three times and can’t wait to dive in again.” –The Guardian
