Such an incredible film and a true story! It has left a deep impression on myself and my husband. Intergenerations affected by trauma going back 4 generations can easily by translated into today's society. A must view. Lessons to be learnt. And such wonderful acting. The sound track is so aptly written and beautiful. We haven't stopped talking about it.

This is a thoughtful and thought provoking film. Beautifully shot, acted and delivered in such a way that I actually felt my toes curl occasionally (a first!). This together with real heartfelt pain, recognising many of the elements that can make the mother / daughter relationship so very brittle and traumatic. Progress to the further generational mix and you have one very powerful film, that genuinely left me unable to properly converse at the end. The hauntingly enigmatic lament of Philip Selway's score will stay with me for a long and indulgent time. The combination is a resonant sensory masterpiece, and I urge you to see it.

This is one of the most appropriately named films I have been to, though "Let me out" would have been better. The underlying story and ambition of the film cannot be faulted, nor can the acting. The script and characterization is however really poor. The tension in the film is not from the film itself but the embarrassed anticipation of which great actor will say something completely unbelievable next. I cringed at almost every scene. Of particular weakness was the character of the granddaughter (Lucy Boynton), who is given the role of blonde dippy air head that had a man written it would have rightly caused outrage at the stereotypical sexism of the role. I couldn't wait for the end, which arroved blissfully unexpectedly in the absence of any punchline

Let Me Go is a thoroughly engaging film which is both entertaining and at times shocking. It brings into sharp focus the enduring and absolute nature of human evil and its affect on future generations. The film is beautifully shot and the performances by Juliet Stevenson and Karin Bertling are stunning.
