This suffers mostly from a protagonist who is not only unlikeable and unsympathetic, he's also, far worse, wildly uninteresting. A moody young man who works on his father's farm in Yorkshire, he occasionally gets his jollies from dropping into the local town and having casual, no-strings-attached-or-connections-wanted with men. After a Romanian worker starts helping out on the farm, the two of them drift into a relationship that seems mostly made of convenience, but our protagonist's grunting non-articulate moodiness seems to be intended to make us think there's a little bit of grand passion going on.
It doesn't quite cut it. Frankly, the Romanian looks like he could do a hell of a lot better than this knobhead. And given the rest of the film offers not a lot other than shots of fog and sheep, this really did leave me, excuse the pun, cold.
