Very nice

I really liked this. It reminded me more of North American indie cinema than typical British fare, and I think that was due to the way it was shot, and the tempo.

Everyday locations are lent gravitas, and imbued with strong emotion. Personally I've always found motorway service stations to be particularly compelling, like miniature towns; so that helped.

I like that it doesn't reach any pat conclusions and lets the viewer decide what this is all about. In that regard, it reminded me of four films. Two little seen films by Lodge Kerrigan: Clean, Shaven and Keane, and more recently, Take Shelter and Midnight Special by Jeff Nicholls. All complex and mysterious, while being deeply personal.

Hope to see more from his director in future.
