This film debuted at Sundance in 2020, and received a spectacular 90% rating at Rotten Tomatoes. Unfortunately for its producers, it was all downhill after Sundance. Audiences didn’t like it (40% on the Popcorn Meter) and the academies ignored it. It attracted neither box office gold nor award-season glory – zero nominations from The Globes, The Oscars or the BAFTAs.
Rory is an ambitious entrepreneur who brings his American wife and kids to his native country, England, to explore new business opportunities. After abandoning the sanctuary of their safe American suburban surroundings, the family is plunged into the despair of an archaic ’80s Britain, and their unaffordable new life in an English manor house threatens to destroy the family.
