Nocturnal

synopsis

Set in a nondescript Yorkshire coastal town, Nocturnal tells the story of Laurie, a cynical schoolgirl, who builds a secret friendship with Pete, an older man who's apparently obsessed with her. Rife with simmering emotional tension, Nathalie Biancheri's elegantly controlled character study boasts remarkable natural central performances from Jarvis and Coe, whose intense connection may conceal something more ominous.
