Directed by Terence Davies
2015, UK, 135 min

Described as an “elegant love letter to the Scottish plains,” this beautifully photographed tale is based on Lewis Grassic Gibbon’s classic 1932 novel about a young woman from a farm family in northeast Scotland who blossoms into maturity and pursues a romance under the influence of a harsh Presbyterian father. Terence Davies, the director of Distant Voices, Still Lives and The Long Day Closes has managed to effectively capture the golden fields of the Scottish countryside with its vast open skies.

Reviews

4 STARS. Stirring and gorgeous. A ballad of love and heartbreak sung with passion.
-Time Out 
“Grade A. Gorgeous. Stunning. Vividly captures the bittersweet beauty of life on earth. A film that demands to be seen.Likely to evoke awe. It accumulates an immensely tender beauty that fills up your heart like water rising in a well during a rainstorm. So powerful…because it captures the fragility of any cherished past. – David Ehrlich, IndieWire
