Review by David Jenkins @daveyjenkins

Directed by

Rebecca Daly

Starring

Barry Keoghan Michael McElhatton Rachel Griffiths

Anticipation.

Rebecca Daly’s follow-up to 2011’s The Other Side of Sleep.

Enjoyment.

The thinness of its concept becomes evident too quickly.

In Retrospect.

Will still be interesting to see what Daly does next.

This dour showcase for Australian actor Rachel Griffiths is a drama of grief and motherhood that is subtle with a capital S.
