This year's festival has wrapped up and many of the films celebrated women filmmakers, including a debut from Charlotte Wells, a ghost story from Joanna Hogg and a documentary from award-winning director Laura Poitras.
This quietly elegant ghost story represents a surprising venture into genre filmmaking for British master Joanna Hogg, while retaining the meta-reflexive mood of 'The Souvenir' diptych, which topped many critics polls in 2019 and '21 respectively.
Channelling the foggy, gothic atmosphere of '70's British ghost stories, and featuring Tilda Swinton in a dual role as both mother and daughter, the film's mysterious, hushed atmosphere becomes progressively more dreamlike, lulling the viewer to lean forward into a state of attention, and provides a satisfyingly emotional pay off.
