'Normal People' was no fluke. 'God's Creatures' is proof he's a versatile leading man.
, acts as his most significant role since his breakout. Murky and inquisitive, interrogating the isolation of village life and how greatly we can trust our families, it’s a mood shift from the lovestruck and light melancholia of that buzzy series., a lie — one word, as slight but as sore as a hairline fracture — threatens to crumble a smallfishing village into the sea.
Set in Ireland, the film hones in on the O’Hara family, headed up by Aileen, the matriarch who works as a supervisor in the local fish factory, played by recognisable British face Emily Watson . The isolated humdrum of her life switches all of a sudden when her son Brian, played by Paul Mescal, returns home from Australia as a surprise; his sister, father and ailing grandfather equally shocked to see him.
After all, the workers at the fish plant spend cigarette breaks wondering what might have become of their lives had they left like Brian did. There are scant resources or demand for anything other than fishing, but leaving a community so small feels like a grandiose statement. Especially, in a town where most people are born, live and die under the same roof.
And so Brian returns, surveying the struggling family fishing business that fell apart when he chose to fly the nest, and considers how he could play a part in its revival. But the slow return to normal is changed by an accusation, and that aforementioned lie told in the wake of it.
