Iona (15)

Drama

Iona takes her teenage son to the holy island where she was born so they can hide from a violent crime. As her son seeks forgiveness for what he has done Iona comes to terms with her loss of faith.

The critical consensus

Iona’s untamed landscape provides the backdrop for this striking film about the aftermath of a violent relationship.

Reflective British drama doesn't rely on conventions.

(*) (*) Geoffrey MacNab, The Independent, 24/03/2016

Another austere tale of dysfunctional relationships, festering grievances and tragedies.

(*) (*) (*) Allan Hunter, Daily Express, 25/03/2016

A woman and her son return to the isolated religious community of her youth in this atmospheric drama.
