Trailer Watch: Family Drama Fuels Hope Dickson Leach’s “The Levelling”

“The Levelling”

A young woman returns home under terrible circumstances in “The Levelling,” writer-director Hope Dickson Leach’s feature debut. A tense trailer has been released for the drama, starring “Game of Thrones’s” Ellie Kendrick.

Clover (Kendrick) finds herself back at the family farm following the suicide of her younger brother, a tragedy that her emotionally distant, hot-tempered father (David Troughton “The Hollow Crown”) insists on identifying as an accident. “You don’t accidentally put a gun in your mouth,” Clover argues.

It’s evident that Clover and her father have spent long, bitter years battling one another, and their reunion is unpleasant, to say the least.

Dickson Leach co-founded Raising Films, which works towards making the film industry more parent-friendly. Her previous directing credits include the award-winning short “The Dawn Chorus” and an episode of “Coming Up,” a TV series on Britain’s Channel 4.

“The Levelling” will make its World Premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 9, then screen at the BFI London Film Festival in October.
