A family business is a complicated thing. There are some people who eagerly pick up where the previous generations left off. Then there are others who want nothing to do with it.
In the 2017 film, Dark River, Alice Bell (Ruth Wilson) has returned to the family farm in North Yorkshire after the death of her father, Richard (Sean Bean). It’s been fifteen years since she has been home. Believing that she has the right to the tenancy of the property, she has to contend with her brother Joe (Mark Stanley). Joe has been doing his best to keep the farm alive.
I wanted to like this film. The cast is obviously top-notch. But I couldn’t get into it, which is a shame.
Do I recommend it? No.
