Frans B @FransB May 14, 2026 Very hard hitting slice of life movie. Very well directed by Kathleen Hepburn. Well written and brought to screen. Amazing cinematography and visually stunning. Shirley Henderson absolutely excels in character, whole cast convincing in character. Filled with drama, reality of life, emotion, intrigue, suspense, twists and cold hard truths. So glad the filming locations in Canada are set mostly in the Northern remote areas, to evoke isolation and the harsh environment, it all adds brilliant ambiance to the story. Highly recommended See more Apr 19, 2018 Set in the coldness of the Canadian landscape-with its bleak and hopeful conservatism against the elements-comes a struggle of physical decay matched only by the resilience of one woman's resolve to abstain from the burden of her condition on her son and the community that surrounds. As Guy Lodge (Variety) rightly notes, it's the serenity and stoic brokenheartedness that gets you in this debut from Canadian writer-director Kathleen Hepburn.

See more Nov 22, 2017 Hepburn doesn't demand that her characters conform to norms of sacrifice and redemption, preferring to follow Jamie and Judy's meandering, unhurried journey to cognizance and mutual appreciation.

Definitely recommend. See more Read all reviews
