Hamish is a man gripped with drive for self excellence. A futile battle against the suffocation caused by his oppressive successful father. Hamish arrives on the soil of his mother's birth; she is felt instantly. A shocking car accident rips him apart, shattering his clenched control. A beast broken, he finds himself lost in the world of his long deceased mother. Young teen Evan, also involved in the accident befriends Hamish. The tremors of want and love beneath the stifling soil push to the surface, as he is led by the vitality of the unbridled boy Evan. He experiences the electric eroticism of living, and danger. His rage accelerates to violence, and ultimately his vibrant release.

Critics Consensus

Relying more on atmosphere than straightforward storytelling, It Is in Us All burnishes its slow-building story with outstanding cinematography.

Campbell-Hughes [get]s into the minds, if not completely under the skin, of her troubled male characters. Yet her visual confidence and eye for emotive detail mark her out as an exciting filmmaking talent.

2.5/5

It Is in Us All is a rather strange, rather enigmatic film about frustrated masculinity and while it is, on several levels, an impressive debut it doesn’t quite bring to the screen a sufficiently satisfying narrative.

3/5

An ambitious portrait of male emotional repression and the unsettling ways those emotions can suddenly spill out.

3/5

A a haunting albeit narratively empty drama with a stand-out performance from Cosmo Jarvis.

The delicate balance between macho masculinity and profound grief forms the emotional core of this powerful Irish character study.

Antonia Campbell-Hughes’ debut feature It Is in Us All asks a question with its title. What is in us all? … thematically rich as it is dark proving that Campbell-Hughes is a director who has talent to burn.

The one star is for the cinematography and Cosmo Jarvis’ back muscles. But the characters in this film have frustratingly indiscernible motivations. It’s a mediation on … something? But what exactly is unclear

Idk how this even got a 67% positive rating. Feels like a little material stretched out over 90 min's. I kept waiting for something to happen, but except for the beginning, nothing. The main character's nice to look at, but a pretty dull story here. Disappointing. More of an art house film I guess.

It's a pretty film with an intense story start, but it languishes after the first 20 minutes. Jarvis holds his own, but he works more with his broken arm than any lines.
