SYNOPSIS/PLOT

Joseph (Peter Mullan), a tormented, self-destructive man plagued by violence, finds hope of redemption in Hannah (Olivia Colman), a Christian charity-shop worker he meets one day while fleeing an altercation. Initially derisive of her faith and presumed idyllic existence, Joseph nonetheless returns to the shop and soon realizes that Hannah’s life is anything but placid. As a relationship develops, they come to understand the deep pain in each other’s lives.

PRO REVIEWS

----------------------------------------
"Propelled by performances full of scalding anger and pain, this is a shattering drama (...) an intense exploration of the corrosive effects of human violence." (David Rooney: Variety)

----------------------------------------
"A great deal more than a misery memoir on film, this character study is as gripping as any hardboiled thriller, delivering emotional content that’ll stay with you for a long time. Highly recommended. (...) Rating: **** (out of five)" (Kim Newman: Empire)
