With her son Edward (Tom Hiddleston) about to embark on a volunteer trip to Africa, doting mother Patricia (Kate Fahy) wants to give him a good send-off, and gathers her family together for a getaway to a holiday home on idyllic Tresco, one of the Isles of Scilly. Edward’s father’s attendance is eagerly anticipated, though sister Cynthia (Lydia Leonard) appears to be there under some duress, going through dutiful motions. Cook Rose (Amy Lloyd) is happy to tend to the family, though her presence causes some discomfort. The holidaymakers spend their time walking, cycling, taking picnics and being tutored in oil painting, appreciating the breathless beauty of their surroundings. Gradually, deep fractures within the family set-up begin to surface. One of the most eagerly anticipated features of the year, Joanna Hogg’s follow up to Unrelated serves as a worthy companion piece to her brilliant and acclaimed debut, as she continues to make astute and authoritative observations on the malaises of the middle-class, extracting sometimes painful drama from incidental events. Archipelago confirms Hogg as one of the most intriguing and vital voices in modern British cinema.

嗯…我其实想说的是…从漫威入坑、没有文学和文艺片基础的「粉丝」放过抖森吧…这部片，猩红山峰，我见光，摩天楼，蔚蓝深海，夜班经理…这些片都不是烂片，都是值得沉下心体味的文艺片佳作。只想去饭一个英伦绅士人设的人麻烦换个演员，因为这些片才正是一个剑桥古典文学专业毕业生的真实品味。
如果喜欢 ＜天水围的日与夜＞这种类型电影的同学能比较接受这部小电影，截取一个中产阶级家庭日常生活的一个平凡的片段，去诉说情感，理想，抗争这些大的议题，可能有人觉得索然无味，但其实看每个人处事的状态去对照个性猜测其经历，挺有趣的。汤抖森同学这小卷毛就是一萌宝贝呀⋯
