Somerset, England. Trainee veterinarian Clover Catto (Ellie Kendrick, Game of Thrones) returns to the farm where she grew up after hearing news that her brother Harry has died - in what appears to be a suicide.. Finding the family home in a state of horrendous disrepair following the 2014 floods that devastated the area, Clover is forced to confront her father Aubrey - about the farm, the livestock and, crucially, the details surrounding Harry's death. Clover's discoveries send her on an emotional journey of reckoning - with her family, her childhood and herself.. Official Selection at the Toronto International Film Festival and winner of the IWC Filmmaker Award at the BFI London Film Festival. "Ellie Kendrick is riveting. THE LEVELLING is a...superbly crafted drama with a powerful sense of place. The film belongs to Kendrick, and the shifting play of emotion on her face - suspicious, accusatory, aggrieved, guilty - is nothing less than riveting." - Los Angeles Times. "THE LEVELLING isn't just one of the best debut pictures of the year, but one of the year's best films, period...A wrenchingly moving, beautifully executed work." - The Playlist. (less)
