Levelling, The (15)

Drama

When Clover Catto (Ellie Kendrick) receives a call telling her that her younger brother Charlie (Joe Blakemore) is dead, she must return to her family farm and face the man she hasn't spoken to in years: her father Aubrey (David Troughton).


The critical consensus

It's a deeply moving offering from an actor and writer-director with big things ahead.

****(*)Yasmin Sulaiman, The List, 08/05/2017

Patient and powerful cinema that earns its emotionally wrenching climax. Stunning lead performance too.

*****David Jenkins, Little White Lies, 09/05/2017

Hope Dickson Leach’s impressive if very dour and dark debut feature.

***(*)(*)Geoffrey Macnab, The Independent, 10/05/2017

A farming family is haunted by tragedy, poverty and brutal nature in Hope Dickson Leach’s chilling and brilliantly acted drama.

****(*)Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 11/05/2017

The Levelling is equally unsparing but even-handed in its characterisation of a father and daughter as two stubborn individuals desperately seeking a way to reconnect.

****(*)Allan Hunter, Daily Express, 12/05/2017

An estranged young woman returns to her flooded Somerset home in this haunting family drama.
