I'm a fan of Clio Barnard's 'The Selfish Giant', it was a very tender look at Northern English working class culture. This is another attempt and makes a good companion piece to 'The Levelling' and 'God's own Country', as agriculture plays such a huge role in the films.

'Dark River' though, doesn't quite match up to those two films, mainly because it's a bit twee throughout, has some less than convincing performancs and also has a weak third act. At some points it feels like a made for TV drama. The ending just doesn't resonate unfortunately, as it's more melodramatic than the rest of the film's tone - which is a shame as the rest of the film is more than adequate.

6.5/10
