What people are saying
Updated nightlyPeople mostly liked this quiet drama about Jack, a mussel harvester in North Wales whose long marriage to Maggie is tested by his attraction to a deckhand named Daniel. They praise the acting, especially Barry Ward's performance, and find the visuals beautiful. Some feel the story itself is a bit too familiar, which holds it back from being truly special.
