Review
Jack Seale
Zoe (Jessica Raine) is taking her family on holiday but, from the taxi ride to the villa onwards, we can see that this is anything but a relaxing getaway. As the car hurtles down the dusty roads of a beautiful Greek island, Zoe looks after the kids while her other half Dan (Damien Molony) sits pale and anxious in the back.
The couple are on their way to meet a group of their friends, most of whom have partners in tow, and none of whom are much more content than Zoe and Dan. The first night of the break is a dinner and pool party at which more than one awful secret comes out; after that, the group’s decision to take a boat trip the next day seems positively reckless. This trip is going to haunt them.
Catherine Shepherd’s austere drama takes its time to draw us in, with a script that isn’t afraid to include plenty of extended two-handers between characters who have a lot of stress and regret to unload. The island has plenty in store for the visitors, none of it pleasant.
