The Levelling (2016)
1/10
Dour, uneventful and boring.

Warning: Spoilers
There isn't even the slightest hint of a reason for the audience to invest any emotional or even intellectual empathy with any of the characters in this movie. There's no drama.. no investment at all - in fact watching it I found myself desperately trying to convince myself not to turn it off as "Something has GOT to happen soon???".

The opening shots of the film give you a clue as to what is to come... two establishing shots of a farm in the middle of nowhere that seem to last for 10 minutes (ok I exaggerate - but it feels like that!).. a montage of some naked guys doing something (???!!!).. no information about them is communicated at all. I guess we're supposed to assume her brother was drunk at this (unexplained) beach party??!! I have no idea!!

It's so boring after that. I just wish the naked guys had shown up again and at least put some life into it!

If you enjoy watching an actress do her best when essentially she has nothing to do, wander around a farm picking up shit and cleaning, while finding dead badgers then this film is for you!

If you LOVE caravans.. then oh jeez this will be a treat!!!!!

Otherwise.. don't spend money on it.
