As London is submerged below floodwaters, a woman gives birth to her first child. Days later, she and her baby are forced to leave their home in search of safety. They head north through a newly dangerous country seeking refuge from place to place.
The result is the kind of film the UK rarely makes anymore: a clever, propulsive picture with enough mainstream oomph for multiplexes.
★★★★
Comer’s vulnerability and idealism are authentic as are her determination and a dash of real ruthlessness… She carries everything with unselfconscious strength and style.
★★★★
Comer’s riveting performance, physically tense with desperation, makes us believe, at least while watching, that we’d do whatever she’s doing.
★★★★
