I think this put me to sleep both times I watched it with my son in broad daylight but its super pretty and has some lovely imagery and emotional beats even if it's fairly plotless and inert.

More Such a brilliantly creepy central location and a tight well written script with great characters and a heavy ominous dread hanging over it. Really enjoyed this. Such a great step up for Damian McCarthy from the impressive but smaller scale Oddity and easily the best Irish Horror of all time.
Adam Scott plays such a cunt in this and his emotional arc is really effective. Loved the framing device and the locked off honeymoon suite is such a fantastically creepy conceit.

More Utterly enchanting. Such a gorgeous, sensory experience.
An Cailín Ciúin could truly only be made in Ireland even without the dialogue As Gaeilge. The film is so thoroughly authentic to feeling, atmosphere and specifics to rural Ireland that it can be keenly felt throughout for anyone with a connection to the country.
Such a delicately written film. The performances, particularly of the titular protagonist and her temporary guardians are just so humane and tender.
On top of that, the film…

Unique, strange, distant, cold, High Life is a hard film to pin down. It's beautifully made and Robert Pattinson gives a fantastically subdued physical performance but its divisiveness will certainly keep people at arm's length.
I'm still mulling it over, on the whole I really enjoyed it but wish the characters were fleshed out a bit more. Will certainly be rewatching it.
Watched at the IFI, Dublin.
