CGiii Comment

An intricately constructed, lyrical and heartbreaking film about two young men wrestling with their sexuality in the repressive English society of the 1920s.

Told in elegant flashback, an institutionalised novelist recounts the story of his love affair with a friend, convinced their shared sexuality could be ‘cured’.

Visually striking, beautifully acted and defined by a haunting mix of romanticism and unflinching horror, this bold film bravely examines a shamefully neglected period in queer history.

– Paul Ridd
