After Love thrusts you into the middle of a domestic war zone. Thanks to the claustrophobia and heightened tension, there are very few moments in the film that aren’t fraught with emotion; whether it be fury, devastation, or even, on occasion, love (or at least what’s left of it).
Hope Dickson Leach’s debut The Levelling is a familiar story of grief, told with an emotional incisiveness by brand new talent, and reminds us the British film industry is alive and well.
