A Country Called Home leads with Imogen Poots (Filth, Need For Speed) in a coming of age story, allegedly compelling and similarly allegedly with universal appeal, because it deals with trials and trepidations that most people experience in one way or another, no matter who they are or where they are from. The story incorporates the views of people from all walks of life; different generations, different places, and different socio-economic backdrops.
Alas, watching this trailer for the movie which also stars Mackenzie Davis (The Martian), I didn’t find it anything other than hugely tedious.
Written by Anna Axster and Jim Beggarly, the former of whom also directs, as of yet, there’s no UK release date. Don’t hold your breath.
