    As a backer of this Cornish-language film, I received a screener.

    I'm Cornish and I want to experience more Cornish content, so for that alone I'm glad this film exists.

    The stylistic choices are only going to work for a subset of movie-goers. It only half works for me. I don't enjoy the over-dubbed sound, for example, and all-caps subtitles are harder to read than standard (though I do like the Cornish slang kept in), and a lot of the acting is wooden.

    Despite the student-film quality, it does a decent job of showing the harshness of the Cornish cliff-side landscape, if nothing else.

    Makes no sense. Forgettable.

    It's like beautiful in moments and has some really genuinely funny scenes but it's meandering in the worst way.

    Also: 15 and 25. Stop. If the genders were swapped, this wouldn't be viewed as a quirky slice of life thing.

    Is good! Particularly enjoy that it's setup for new tech to be a saviour and then it's just as shit as it ought to be.
