Incredible acting from Emily Watson and pretty much the entire cast. Unfortunately it doesn't give us enough background for these complex characters, and it's a bit disjointed. Basically a seemingly prodigal son returns home after 7 years abroad and silence. His mother, Watson is overjoyed until he's accused of sexually assaulting a childhood friend. It's worth watching for the sound and atmosphere alone. The clacking of oyster shells and a steady drum beat interwoven with bagpipes creates incredibly eerie tension, just incredible, and I'll never eat oysters again. The resolution is a bit fast, but surprising. Not as good as I wanted it to be but a solid film.
