I wanted to like it and I don't believe it is genuinely "bad", it's just super uneventful. Over time, it becomes boring and almost insufferable. This one should have been 20+ minutes shorter.

God's Creatures invites you to Aileen's deep questioning inside her. She knows the truth but can't accept it because of the family bond. Day by day, she starts drowning in her mind, and we are witnessing this suffocating process.

The plot of God’s Creatures is pretty much set in stone from the start, both in tone and pacing, so there's not much to delve further into. Personally, I don't think the storyline is about you figuring out what's going on before the characters do - because you actually do - but more about experiencing Emily Watson's character's dilemma and what ultimately causes her to take the decision with which the film concludes. A good drama, but it lacked spark and more flavor.

Slow paced drama with a decent cast and cinematography. There are few suprises within the plot and a few logic leaps to get past, but if the mood serves then dry grit drama is here and ready for you on the wind swept shores of a small Irish village!

Emily Watson is a masterclass and Paul Mescal holds his own. Not a lot happens in this film. It is very slow and brooding but it holds your interest.

Painfully slow story of guilt and consequences. Everybody just plods along. Excellent cinematography, rich ambiance and sound aren't enough to save it. Might be an interesting place to visit, but you wouldn't want to live there.

A Scottish mother (Emily Watson) finds herself caught in a moral dilemma when she impulsively decides to lie in order to protect her young son (Paul Mescal) from a heinous crime that he has been accused of in a rural Scottish fishing community. This is more of a slow burn from A24, and while there's really nothing too extraordinary on display here, it's the onscreen performances of Watson and Mescal that really keep things afloat here. Otherwise, it is somewhat of a forgettable film.
