God's Own Country

The rugged landscapes of the Yorkshire dales provide a tempestuous backdrop to a wrenching tale of toxic masculinity and forbidden love, impeccably-crafted by first-time filmmaker Francis Lee. Economic in scale and speech, this portrait of rural life is, instead, rich in detail, texture and emotion.
