In a remote forgotten rural area, a mother struggles to maintain her sanity as she battles with psychosis. Lynne Ramsay’s latest work is further proof of tis director’s immense skill.
Grace (Jennifer Lawrence, who is outstanding) is an aspiring writer who moves from New York to the countryside with her partner Jackson (Robert Pattinson). The couple's new life has the potential to be idyllic. They are fiercely in love, surrounded by woods and meadows, allowing Grace the peace and freedom to write a novel. But once a baby comes into their life, Grace becomes blearily adrift from reality, brilliantly conveyed by the director using a variety of cinematic techniques. The threat of violence pervades the film, but it is cleverly balanced with touches of dark humour.
