Tom (Sam Riley – ‘Control’), a one-time tennis pro, now hits countless balls over the net to tourists who come to escape their everyday lives at Fuerteventura, the largest of the Canary Islands.
The usual endless directionless summer Tom usually fills with booze and brief affairs is brought to a halt with the appearance of a woman from his past (Stacy Martin – ‘The Brutalist’) and the subsequent disappearance of her husband (Jack Farthing – ‘Poldark’).
With its unconventional narrative arc, this is a smart and subtle thriller with a real sting in its tale exploring themes of escape, longing, and the complexities of human relationships. The three leads are all very impressive, as is the ultra-wide Cinemascope aspect ratio which really does justice to the beautiful Atlantic locations.
