Archipelago
First screened in December 2014
Director: Joanna Hogg. Cast: Kate Fahy, Tom Hiddleston, Lydia Leonard, Amy Lloyd, Christopher Baker. Screenplay: Joanna Hogg.

Twitter Capsule: Hogg again traces fissures in a family on a rustic holiday. Still shrewd in psychology but slower, more self-conscious.

VOR:   Risky for a second feature to so closely reprise elements of a debut's style and scenario. Beyond repeating herself, Hogg seems a bit more driven to Say Something, at cost of suggesting less.
