God's Creatures is the critically acclaimed drama from co-directors Saela Davis and Anna Rose Holmer starring Emily Watson and Paul Mescal, set on the coast of Ireland.
In a windswept fishing village, a mother (Watson) is torn between protecting her beloved son (Paul Mescal) and her own sense of right and wrong. A lie she tells to cover for him rips apart their family and close-knit community.
Exquisitely written and fiercely acted by a stellar cast, God's Creatures is a tense and emotional epic masterfully spearheading sidelined mothers, wives and women as a whole. This is arguably Watson’s most compelling piece of work to date.
