I liked The filming style, but the film ends without explanation or satisfaction. An oddly cold experience but being a Mark Kermode recommendation, I felt I should give it a go.

Description

His brother Steven has re-purposed their father's vessel as a tourist tripper, driving a wedge between the brothers. With their childhood home now a get-away for London money, Martin is displaced to the estate above the picturesque harbour. As his struggle to restore the family to their traditional place creates increasing friction with tourists and locals alike, a tragedy at the heart of the family changes his world.

It seems experimentation in filming style gets the awards not the quality of the story. What a waste of a nomination. I wonder if this was set elsewhere say the North of England would it receive the fawning adoration it is getting? Probably not.

A tale of class war in Cornwall that plays out like a Hitchcock thriller. Gripping, simmering tensions boil over with some fine performances. Exactly the sort of film that deserves celebrating.
