Excellent, Without a doubt!!

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

This is an utterly beautiful meditation on contemporary friendship and a stunningly mature debut. Both Macqueen and Campbell are wonderfully natural - drawing us into their world with subtly and nuance. Hard to think of performances so uncluttered in recent times. Ben Hecking's cinematography is gorgeously composed and compliments the performances excellently. The film captures the wilds of Cornwall extremely evocatively both mysterious and intimate. It's a slow burner but a film made with intelligence and poise. It speaks for a generation usually without a voice in contemporary British culture. An incredibly important British feature film.

I like Hinterland. It is avant-garde and artistically done--the cinematography with unconventional camera angles and uneven shots are not typical and shock the viewer then pull them into the story. The film depicts breathtakingly picturesque scenery of the beautiful English countryside with wild ponies and animals milling around the highway, all creating images of life and expectation. Hinterland is an unusually quiet film in this world of bombastic, loud, clichéd cinema. I especially like the beginning of Hinterland--the still, close shots of rooms, the desk, the bathtub--no movement until suddenly a man climbs from a tub establish a haunting mileau. This film will be a big hit with millennials because it relates to the theme of lost youth searching for meaning. The original soundtrack is captivating and, with the woman's soulful vocals, is haunting.The conflicts come out of two young people trying to figure out unknown futures which cause them both fear and trepidation. They're both a bit in love with each other, but are terrified of commitment, of becoming stuck in lives that would take away their freedom to live vibrant, authentic experiences without boundaries like the wild horses roaming the English hills.

This movie had me from the beginning. I didn't see the trailer prior to watching so didn't know what to expect.The scenery gorgeous and the unspoken relationship between the 2 characters was easily understood. They both did wonderful acting to get the relationship across.I loved the quiet scenes, you just know what each is thinking.For a first movie on a small budget they did very quality work. Everything was smooth, loved hearing the sputter of the engine of the car and the little roads traveled.Highly recommended for anyone wanting to kick back and relax to watch a lovely, well written, directed, graceful movie.

No spoilers here! The movie had a grip on my attention within the first ten minutes. If I had to use one word to sum it up, that would be wistful...there was an undercurrent of sadness throughout the movie. Not great tragedy, but a sense by the main characters that something was missing or absent in their lives.I was intrigued by the minimalism throughout - no doubt as a result of an extremely tight budget. But it worked extremely effectively. I was very focused on the characters because there was no "big budget" distraction(aside from the glorious scenery).Initially, I felt the ending was a little abrupt, but on reflection (and this is the kind of movie that makes you reflect) it actually encapsulated the worlds or the main characters...without the need for blatant explanation.
