Technical: col/2.39:1 102m
Director: Mahalia Belo
Cast: Jodie Comer, Joel Fry, Katherine Waterston, Mark Strong, Gina McKee, Benedict Cumberbatch
Synopsis:
A young London couple become parents in the middle of a series of storms that hit the nation, and they must travel north to high ground.
Review:
Unlike a 2012 or a Greenland, this clumsily titled psychological disaster movie focuses on the interstices of the conventional thriller narrative. It's strong on subjective upside-down shots and memory flashes, but weak on joined-up storytelling: the hike to and from Skye all but defeats credibility in its ellipses. The star does a brave job but even she cannot hold this mini-series material together.
