MOVIE REVIEW: We endure a dull, confusing time with folk horror 'Enys Men'

dailyrecord.co.uk:

In the past nine months I’ve sat through two of the most frustrating flicks I’ve seen in ages - Dashcam and Skinamarink - and, sadly, I now have to add Enys Men to that dubious list.

Set in 1973 on an uninhabited island off the Cornish coast, it sees a wildlife volunteer’s (Mary Woodvine) daily observations of a rare flower turn into a metaphysical journey forcing her to question what is real.If that synopsis doesn’t sound like the stuff thrilling viewing is made of then, in a sense, what follows is no great surprise.The Lanarkshire Live app is available to download now.

Get all the news from your area – as well as features, entertainment, sport and the latest on Lanarkshire’s recovery from the coronavirus pandemic – straight to your fingertips, 24/7.The free download features the latest breaking news and exclusive stories, and allows you to customise your page to the sections that matter most to you.Head to the App Store and never miss a beat in Lanarkshire - iOS - Android Brit director Mark Jenkin’s second feature-length outing is like a recurring nightmare - a listless one you cannot escape from.Enys Men is a criminal mix of dull and confusing; if you’ve ever wondered what being stuck on an island with no phone, TV or internet would be like then this might be the movie for you.

Like I highlighted in my Skinamarink review, I’m all for creative, experimental filmmaking - but only if it’s a pleasure to watch.
