Anecdotes
The film is very loosely based on Rose Tremain's novel Trespass. Writer/director Clio Barnard wrote an initial screenplay that was much closer to the book, which focuses on two sets of of siblings in their sixties who become involved in a property dispute in France. After the initial draft, her producers encouraged her to make the story her own so that the final film, which focuses on only one set of siblings in their thirties and is set in England is only very loosely related to the book.

Gaffes
Joe shows Alice some shepherd's needle growing in a field. But the plant he shows her doesn't look like it (e.g. it's too big and too robust) and it wouldn't grow in that grassy and well-vegetated pasture as it's a weed of arable cultivation. In fact it's extremely rare in Yorkshire so would be exceedingly unlikely to be present in the area at all.

minimalist darkness

Alice Bell (Ruth Wilson) is a lonely laborer at a sheep farm. After getting news of her father's death, she returns to her family's rundown sheep farm despite being haunted by a family secret. Her bitter brother Joe (Mark Stanley) is angry at her 15 years absence and her attempt to revive the farm. He has plans to sell the stock and abandon the tenancy.

This is dark, bleak, brooding, and not that exceptional. It's all grindingly dark and brooding. The dialogue is sparse. There isn't much surprising. Wilson is able to portray this darkness. It would be nice to have more. It's all one note and oppressively depressing.
