If the term "indie sleaze" can be applied to a film, this would be a good candidate for it. Like an OG Spring Breakers. But a lot more self-aware, in that it's opening up to this free-spirited lifestyle as a response to tragedy, not just for the hell of it. Great use of colour, and some very creative camerawork, making it feel like an early archetype of the A24 style, hence the Spring Breakers comparison. And it features some of the thickest Scottish accents I've heard in film.

Watched on 35mm at the TIFF Lightbox, presented in celebration of Lynne Ramsay’s new film, Die My Love. Great looking print.
