This new period drama from esteemed British director Terence Davies is based on a classic Scottish novel set before and during WWI. "The most refined coming-of-age story cinema has seen in recent years." - The Playlist
Set in a rural Scottish community during the early years of the twentieth century, Sunset Song is driven by the young heroine Chris and her intense passion for life, for the unsettling Ewan and for the unforgiving land. The First World War reaches out from afar, bringing the modern world to bear on the community in the harshest possible way, yet in a final moment of grace, Chris endures, now a woman of remarkable strength who is able to draw from the ancient land in looking to the future. Rated R. 135 mins.
"One of the great director Terence Davies' best films: an example of old school and new school mentalities coming together to create a challenging and unique experience." - rogerebert.com
"Like most of Mr. Davies’s films, Sunset Song makes you see the world through his sorrowful eyes. He is a die-hard romantic, whose acute sensitivity to the passage of time conveys a bittersweet awareness of the fragility of beauty, which, for him, is synonymous with melancholy." - New York Times
"It accumulates an immensely tender beauty that fills up your heart like water rising in a well during a rainstorm." - indieWIRE
"The most English of directors has done a Scottish classic proud." - Empire
