The television movie or play tackles themes related to religion and politics, with elements of coming-of-age woven throughout. The setting is clearly established by the events depicted, though some discussions about faith continue to resonate. King Penda’s character is unsettling; I found that very enjoyable. He delivers a genuinely disturbing presence in one particular scene. The narrative unfolds at a deliberate speed, characteristic of British horror (perhaps psychological horror), which may not appeal to all viewers. However, I appreciate the film's atmosphere and cinematography.
