"The Droving" weaves sublime, pastoral imagery with the psychologically and supernaturally affecting in what becomes an intense and compelling film.
Martin (Daniel Oldroyd) has returned to his rural home, nearing a year since his younger sister Meg went missing. By name, The Droving is a localized festival of its own unique ilk, and it coincides with Martin's homecoming and his search for ultimate truths. The sublime, plot-driving twist comes in the slowly-unwrapped revelation that Martin is a far more complicated bag of hurt than even a missing sibling can explain.
By counterpointing internalized quests through the disparate projection of vast physical landscapes, "The Droving" plays on the brain, presenting an elegantly creeping ambition all its own. - (Was this review of use to you? If so, let me know by clicking "Helpful." Cheers!)
