Whilst it is true that The Keeping Hours is not in any way scary, I still found watching it a rewarding experience. If you are a fan of the female lead in The Leftovers (2014), then this movie should find you in familiar territory. In a way, it's like a missing episode in that series. For anyone who watched it through to the end, you'll remember Carrie Coon went on a trip to a parallel universe to catch up with her missing children. We never actually saw that reunion, only heard her emotional telling of it. This movie is as if you did get to see that reunion. There is some very gentle and sensitive photography all the way through, and the actors are superb. Don't go to it if you are looking for a Friday Night spook-out. If you want an emotional family drama featuring a cute child and a relationship being gradually redeemed, well then, enjoy.
