About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a moody, intimate coming-of-age romance that drifts into darker, mind-game territory; Not for you if you need clear answers, steady pacing, or a purely feel-good vibe like Beautiful Thing.
Pros: strong lead performances; tense, shifting mood; striking Yorkshire setting | Cons: uneven pacing; loose ends linger; some find it dull
