AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Banshee24 I loved this film from the moment I read the Synopsis.I need to figure out where this was actually filmed as the roads are spectacular and look like they make for some nice driving. The petrol Station is very cute indeed.For me the weather and remoteness of the location made the whole film for me, it gave the impression of a great desperateness and struggle against the cold which seemed to parallel the emotions portrayed by all of the characters.A few nice cars on show too including a very tidy "Q" plated Series II Land Rover Pickup kitted out with Recover Gear, and a very tidy 1976 Fiesta XR2i which appears to have been borrowed from a member of highlandoldskoolfords.co.ukWatch out for an appearance from Michael Smiley (known more for his role as Benny in Luther) as Hugh a lonely regular who becomes a bit too close for comfort at times

andychatfun I just watched the Film Shell by Scott Graham on Film Four. Early on in the film the father has an epileptic fit and the daughter puts a rag of some sort in his mouth. This is of course against known medical advice and has not been advised for about 20 years !In a later scene nearer the end of the film she puts her hand in his mouth, again no reason.My main worry is that people will see the film and then put a cloth in my mouth the next time I have a seizure or someone Else's. This is very dangerous as you can choke on it and it restricts your breathing as well; plus you don't know what is on the cloth / rag. Lying on his side and not calling an ambulance was right, no injuries so just leave him to recover. But don't 'assault' him with oily rags, I'm amazed he didn't choke to death !Well done to Scott for showing a character with epilepsy, but lets not make things worse for people who have seizures? The film was okay, a bit bland and slow, boring really, I was side tracked at the start by the old fashioned idea of stuffing rags into peoples mouths - horrible.

pale_pixie First, I just want to say that as a Scottish person, the father Pete sounded very English. I know now that he is from England, but you'd think that they could have found someone who could at least "sound" Scottish to play a Scottish man.Other than that, the location and beauty of the countryside, the photography, the flora and fauna is typical and unique to Scotland. Breathtaking. Many people in the cities like Glasgow and Edinburgh don't venture out too far into the highlands and they really should at least once in their lives.The story has a lot of twists and turns. The relationship is complicated between the daughter and father. All she knows is her little corner of the planet but now that she is 17, she has urges and yearnings for more from life. The father is really torn as he has done as much as he can to protect her all her life, home schooling her and even though he has constant personal struggles with his health, being a young man raising a daughter, he knows the day will come when she will have to leave.I was sad that he chose his own ending, thereby freeing both of them at the same time. The final part is when she realizes that staying where she is, the boyfriend will just replace the dad and her life will go nowhere, you are really glad to see her take the plunge.The ending does leave you satisfied. The whole story leaves you satisfied. No loose ends.

billcr12 Shell is a seventeen year-old girl living with her father at a gas station in Scotland in the middle of nowhere. He sells old cars for scrap metal, while she pumps gas and cooks and cleans, much as a wife would do. Apparently, her mother headed for greener pastures and left dad and his daughter to fend for themselves. The movie drags on for an hour and a half, with no sense of humor or life to speak of. The almost incestuous overtone is creepy, as is some guy with a BMW who gives Shell a pair of expensive jeans for obvious reasons. The lead actress is very ordinary looking and her father seems to be the unhappiest man on earth. The two combine for an extremely depressing and meaningless drama which I cannot recommend for any reason. The one positive note is the beautiful Scottish countryside.
