A vivid and unflinching adaptation of Amy Liptrot's
wrenching personal memoir of addiction, powered by an extraordinary
central performance from Saoirse Ronan. Addicted to hedonism, drink and
drugs, a young woman must wrestle with recovery in the remote islands of
Orkney whilst reckoning with her complex family history. Powered by a
pounding soundtrack, a kinetic visual style and intricate narrative
structure, this extraordinarily moving film is redemptive, cathartic and
utterly riveting. Cert: 15.
