A concept horror with purpose, Remi Weekes’s meditation on loss, discrimination and the refugee crisis plays out in a dilapidated house on the outskirts of London, the new home of a couple (Sope Dirisu and a wondrous, pre-Sinners Wunmi Mosaku) who have fled war-torn South Sudan.
It’s a visceral manifestation of their unspeakable pain, made even more poignant by their attempts to adapt to life in Britain while also yearning for home and clinging to traditions.
In light of the current government’s approach to asylum and immigration, it’s an urgent and necessary watch, perhaps more so than ever before.
There she encounters the enigmatic Nina (Dakota Johnson), a mother whose three year old suddenly goes missing, triggering a period of intense reflection in Leda about the responsibilities she herself relinquished, and the joys and sadness that brought her.
It’s wonderfully clear-eyed and non-judgemental, providing a crucial jumping off point for wider discussions about the impossible expectations placed upon women.
