Hard-partying young woman Effi lives in rural Wales, whose life largely revolves around drinking vodka with her friends and eating instant noodles to cure her subsequent hangovers – until her life suddenly changes dramatically.
This Welsh-language film is a breathtaking work by director Marc Evans. It strikes the perfect balance of grit and heart to make the subject matter compelling.
★★★★★
The film proves that the most specific landscapes can articulate far-reaching truths, and is another reminder that it’s well past time for the ‘British’ cinematic canon to include more languages than English.
★★★★
