If you saw Mark Jenkin's "Enys Men" then you might have an idea what to expect in this similarly photographed and styled mystery. This time, it's a Cornish fishing boat called the "Rose of Nevada" which has a reputation mired in suspense that serves as the focal point. It requires a crew of three and those consist the enigmatic captain (Francis Magee), "Liam" (Callum Turner) and "Nick" (George MacKay). The latter needs the money after his attempt to fix the leaky kitchen roof left him and his family with a man-sized hole. The outgoing charmer "Liam" is something of a mysterious young man, too, with a provenance about which we can only guess and then there is their skipper who resists any of the shore based temptations even when they return with an hold full of fish. It's on their first return from sea that their stories starts to twist. "Nick" goes home and nothing is as he left it just days before. "Liam", too, comes back to an altogether different scenario too. What is occuring? Are they in some sort of time loop? Has disaster befallen the ship in some way before? Are any of these men really whom they appear to be? I did like the grainy 16mm filming here, and that goes some way to creating a sense of peril but the dearth of dialogue and the repetiveness of the scenes (just how many times did I need to see them gut a fish?) left me feeling I was paddling rather than swimming. I didn't really feel that any of the three leading characters were sufficiently developed or that the underlying premiss was delivered with enough potency. I just wasn't very enthralled here. MacKay has more of the play here, and does well enough as his frustration expands, but Turner doesn't really have enough to get his teeth into and so contributes only peripherally to what might have been quite a complex story had it been more substantial and detailed. It's has a creepiness to the production, but the writing leaves too little meat on the bones and I left just a bit underwhelmed.
