The film is schematic and a little plot-crammed as it follows these twin narrative tracks to moist-eyed destinations... But it’s so full-hearted and creamily shot that we’re mostly swept along.

The filmmaking is a tad formulaic, but On Swift Horses is a beautifully shot piece of period escapism with a mesmerising central performance from Daisy Edgar-Jones.

It’s not going to rock everyone’s world and neither is it a patch on Carol. But it’s competent, sometimes clever, film-making with ideas and lots of heart.

It’s beautiful, sure, but it’s also sterile. These people don’t feel real. They feel curated. It’s as if someone tried to make a period drama with Instagram aesthetics.
