Addiction – Mental Health – Healing
Saoirse Ronan stars as Rona who returns to her home of Scotland’s Orkney Islands and tries to heal herself after her troubles caught up to her while she had been trying to build a like for herself in London.
I wanted to like this film more than I did. I thought Saoirse was s fabulous as always. I was interested in the story and thought it showed a raw portrayal of the struggles with addiction. It shows how addiction impacts everyone involved in the life of the person with the addiction. However, my overall final thoughts were that it had some pretty shots, some pretty lines and some nice moments of connection between people.
A film to say I am happy to have seen, but it didn’t really have a lasting impact on me or anything that would make me want to watch it again.
Would not watch again
