Film rec: Wreckers

[cali-se.livejournal.com]

If you're a fan of Shaun's beyond his work as Endeavour, you should try to catch his fabulous performance in this little indie gem. In it, he plays Nick, a soldier suffering from PTSD, whose return to his brother David's life stirs up all sorts of secrets, lies and uncomfortable truths. I really liked this film, and found it lingered long after I'd watched it. The performances impressed me even when the pace slowed down almost to a standstill - in fact, the slower moments were often the most impressive. It's a very English affair and played out with a subtle air throughout. Beautifully shot too, with the added bonus of Benedict Cumberbatch as David and Claire Foy as David's wife, Dawn. Recommended, and at just 85 minutes, worth a look even if it turns out not to be your cup of tea.

Director: DR Hood, 2011

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoy my fic. :) I haven't found all that many Endeavour fans here yet - there are more on AO3 and Tumblr - but I love the show and felt it would nice to have a little corner of LJ where we fans can stick together. ;)
