“Nocturnal” (** out of four) was a reductively remote drama about a young schoolgirl (Lauren Coe) who develops a relationship with a middle-aged man (Cosmo Jarvis) who is obsessed with her; while they seem like complete opposites in terms of age and their positions in life, their need for companionship results in their relationship soon blossoming. Well-acted by the two leads in naturalistic fashion but story never connects emotionally and remains hazy and aloof. This was oddly selected to open last year’s BFI London Film Festival.
