Kathy, Tommy and Ruth live in a world and a time that feel familiar to us, but are not quite like anything we know. They spend their childhood at Hailsham, a seemingly idyllic English boarding school. When they leave the shelter of the school and the terrible truth of their fate is revealed to them, they must also confront the deep feelings of love, jealousy and betrayal that threaten to pull them apart.(Fox Searchlight Pictures)
In lots of ways like performances and tone it is very good but I can't get past why the characters cooperated, nothing seemed to be compelling them to or stopping them from just walking away. Which makes it equal parts haunting and absurd.
