This looks really interesting. Paddy Considine is always amazing. And this story is pretty daring: he’s a bad guy hired by a family to kill their own daughter, because she is bringing “shame” to them by living her own life, as a woman living in the West has every reason to expect she should be able to do. It makes that “What kind of person would not want to see their own mother?” particularly chilling. I suppose we can figure that Considine will refuse to go through with the job, but I’ll be curious to see how that plays out.

Honour… is too often a refuge of the scoundrel. It’s only when honour tells you to do something other than what makes your life easy that it’s worth a light.
