Yr Ymadawiad

A previous reviewer spent time detailing the scenes in the movie, most in regard to water related scenes, that were inaccurate in his/her view. Yet the inaccuracies were the entire point.

I tend to go down these cultural rabbit holes. After watching Severn Screen's second season of the excellent Hidden (Craith, in Welsh), I was drawn to this feature length 'horror' written a few years earlier by Ed Talfan, producer of Hinterland and Hidden, and a particularly gruesome historical horror film The Apostle from 2018.

This film must rank as one of the best to come out of Wales, either in English or in welsh....and if you want to know something about Wales please watch this rather than John Ford's How Green Was My Valley (which by the way is surely due an authentic Welsh remake).

I did not get that much out of the movie, but I would not have rated it because it seemed pretty clear there was a lot that just blew by me that was over my head.After reading the spoiler reviews I now understand it quite a bit better.

Do not waste your time. I want mine back.

OK, yes, this movie has some continuity and other errors. I agree that pushing the wrecked car uphill through dense forest from the crash site to this remote farmhouse would be a completely impossible task, so yes, at that point of the movie it bothered me.

Two family tragedies merging into one haunting tale! I loved this movie.

On its own "The Passing" probably deserves a 7 or 8. I was offered this on Amazon Prime under 'Horror' so I watched fully through to the end which was good on more than one level.

Stanley lives alone in a house deep in the Welsh woods, isolated from everyone and everything. Iwan and Sara are a young couple whose car ends up in a river near Stanley's property.
