Kermode, Bradshaw and other critics fell over themselves to praise this debut from Mark Jenkin.

It was shíte.

I was rather pleased to read the two-word review of one disgrnutled cinema-goer: 'Baffling and odious.'

Never believe a film critic.
Kermode is a pretentious wánker, I'm afraid. I remember him going mental for 'A Field In England'. So I watched it and turned out to be tedious, incoherent nonsense. There was another one - Beasts Of The Southern Wild, I think? Anyway, Kermode practically came in my ears talking about how wonderful it was. Naturally, it was utter, utter toss.
