lilt

"It's lovely to hear Welsh being spoken. It's lovely to have the whole lilt, that wonderful sound. It's kind of a celebration of Wales as well."

The director also leans nicely into interstitial shots that orient us without attitude, while her choice of music, led by Lesley Barber’s lilting score, is a real mood-setter of romance and melancholy.

The film and her lilting performance in it show how grief can coexist with a kind of grace — a peace with the unknowability of what lies beyond.

Occasionally, Fish will be seized with adrenaline as he prepares to wrestle that demon, dangerously flailing around his apartment while Laura Karpman’s lilting score shifts into a jazz-infused cacophony of drums and horns.

But is a Welsh lilt really the key to gaining people's trust as a faithful in the show?
