If you loved Lady Macbeth, try Eileen
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by William Oldroyd, and they both carry the raw, slow burn mood tags. If that's the register that drew you to Lady Macbeth, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Eileen is
X-mas, Massachusetts, 1964. A cigarette cough. Bleak prison clerical work and a mother's nagging give way to furtive camaraderie when a new psychologist arrives. Then a crime is plotted. Another bleak film for the Oldroyd completists.
