The Souvenir

Joanna Hogg’s gorgeous The Souvenir looks at a bad romance through the fog of memory

...the story casts a spell, and Swinton Byrne is a milky, beguiling presence; it’s almost as if you’re watching her become a person in real time.

Swinton Byrne is extraordinary in her first feature role...

...[Tom Burke] gives a career-best performance that is brilliantly enigmatic, a mesmerising blend of predation and vulnerability.

...recreates the sensation of riding an emotional roller coaster with an unstable partner: the dizzying highs, the free-falling lows and the unpredictable sharp turns that can be either terrifying or thrilling.
