The Incomer

About This Movie

So, 'The Incomer'—it's set on this remote Orkney isle where the atmosphere feels a bit magical yet very grounded. The sibling dynamic between Isla and Sandy is quite charming, and their bird-hunting antics are interspersed with encounters with these mythical beings. Pacing is a bit off-kilter in a way that feels intentional, mirroring their resistance to outsiders, particularly with Daniel showing up. His awkwardness contrasts nicely with their quirky lives and adds a layer of absurdity. The practical effects used to depict the mythical characters stand out without overshadowing the human performances, which are really the heart of the film. It’s a unique blend of comedy and folklore that feels distinctly regional.
