My first exposure to Jessie Buckley was the movie "Wild Rose", and I became an instant fan. A gifted singer also, her acting really is a force of nature, she is that good.
Here she is 20-something Moll, still living with her parents in the family home, and working as a guide with a tour bus. We gradually learn she has had some issues, at 13 was expelled from school for stabbing a classmate with scissors.
Now she is having a birthday party at home, gets agitated, and just leaves to go to a dance hall. The next morning she meets Johnny Flynn as seemingly dangerous Pascal Renouf with rifle and rabbits he poached. She eventually learns he has some past misdeeds also. Now local girls are turning up dead and some locals suspect Pascal.
But he and Moll seem perfect for each other, both troubled souls, and they fall in love, much to the disapproval of her family and friends.
This is such a well-told and well-acted movie, and as the last half hour draws to a close new things are revealed that lead up to an unexpected conclusion.
A really good movie.
