The North

A decade after they were best friends and roommates, Chris and Lluis set out on a 600 kilometer hike through the Scottish Highlands to reconnect with each other, nature and parts of themselves they lost.
Our read: The North (2025) reads as a sombre, steady, grounded drama entry — measured in intensity, mid-stakes in scope, measured in temperature, ambivalent in outlook.
Sombre, steady, measured drama, grounded in texture. Ambivalent, mid-stakes, measured.
