What is Rose of Nevada about?
In a derelict Cornish fishing village, the Rose of Nevada — a boat lost at sea thirty years ago with all hands — mysteriously reappears in the harbour. George MacKay and Callum Turner join a new crew hoping to restore the town's luck, but after a successful voyage they return to find themselves thirty years in the past, mistaken for the men who vanished. Mark Jenkin writes, shoots, edits, scores, and sound-designs this analogue folk sci-fi with the same handmade grain as Bait and Enys Men — image and dialect over exposition, patience as craft.

★★★★★
George MacKay and Callum Turner sail Jenkin's analogue folk sci-fi — 99% Tomatometer, 88 Metascore, and Cornish time-slip cinema Empire ranked among the year's finest UK theatricals.
Masterpiece — editor's pick and the United Kingdom theatrical I would send any reader to after Bone Temple's rage.
