I wanted to enjoy this as my sisters drama club won some roles as extras, including both my nieces ( they are the school kids). It gets a star for their inclusion. The rest is a dreadful shambles and did not deserve to be included in that years Edinburgh Film Festival. It's a moribund cocktail of tired cliches that I believed Scotland as a nation was trying to drag itself away from. Then learn that a festival committee member has a small role, it becomes more understandable and corrupt.
Tallulah Riley wrote, directed and starred in this tale of an eco warrrior trying to save the beloved mussels and their pearls from poachers. Martin Compston (Line if Duty, Monarchnif the Glen) is a chancer who falls for her and changes his poaching ways along with his 'odd couple' mates. The rest of the story is Riley getting her kit off, and some lame storylines with very well respected Brit actors ( Rachel Stirling, James Dreyfus, Harry Enfield) in a totally random situation that has no bearing on the main plot.
Compston is a good wee actor as are those mentioned but cannot register with such a weak script and sub standard direction. Riley should concentrate on one of these things . I can only guess that this was green lit because she was Elon Musk's girlfriend at the time. Money speaks volumes . Needless to say this film is not a pearl.
