Three decades ago, the Rose of Nevada vanished at sea, along with its crew. Now, it has returned. In a remote fishing village, its reappearance is embraced as an auspicious sign, with the local citizens convinced the luck of their economically devastated community may turn, if only the ship sails again. Joining the crew is Nick (George MacKay), desperate to provide for his young family, and Liam (Callum Turner), a mysterious drifter eager to escape his past. After a successful voyage, they return to harbor, only to find that nothing is as they remember it. Shooting on a 16mm Bolex camera and constructing all the sound in post, Mark Jenkin writes, directs, edits and scores a haunting and hallucinatory time-travel mystery that further solidifies him as one of the most distinct, singular artists working in film today. Jenkin conducts a cinematic séance, conjuring a portal into another world that forces us to confront the past and our relationship to it.

Critics Consensus

Weaving a hypnotic tapestry of bold analogue imagery, spellbinding storytelling, and mesmeric sound, Rose of Nevada reinforces Mark Jenkins as a uniquely singular directorial voice.

3.5/5

Rose of Nevada is so uniquely its own thing, I strain for any comparison at all. Jenkin works the aforementioned technical restraints of his chosen vintage technology to extraordinary effect.

I’m lackadaisical about wherever the story intended to leave me, and unsure of its ruminations on whether the needs of the many outweigh those of the few. But I admire the way “Rose of Nevada” tells its story. Sometimes, my admiration is enough.

The result is a film that is haunting and singular – a furnace-blast of the past reshaped and refashioned for our modern times. All aboard.

Featuring working class characters and their circumstances that Jenkin is familiar with growing up, he beautifully crafts a sort of a low-fi sci-fi with sodden social realism.

4/5

MacKay and Turner anchor things with minimalist but moving performances, and a story that begins as confounding becomes more and more compelling, even as we move to an uncertain tomorrow.

The visuals help bring us into the story. The 16mm look works here. A film about time and place that evokes the past look of films and tv specials, to tell the story of time gone and returned.

Story is a mess, but the visuals and acting are enough to where I would say it’s worth a watch for a cinephile.

I admire small Indy films & this one was interesting, good acting but in the end left me with more questions than it answered

I love the look of the movie, the atmosphere, the 70s feel but the plot left me cold and confused. I like that the movie lets you decide what you saw but I got bored a little.

The 16mm grainy film style and jerky camera work literally made me dizzy. Hard to watch. I appreciate a good art film, am a fan of the actors, and wanted to really enjoy this movie. In the end the style and the actual story just didn't work for me.

Good movie. Strong use of the proper tone throughout. George MacKay is esp. good here. Turner is good, as usual, & it's the very reliable Magee turns in another strong performance. Good to see Rosalind Eleazar as well. Well done by director/writer Jenkins. I did feel like there were some unresolved issues, or at least some uncertainty as to how well-constructed the reasoning is for how/why they end up in the time change. I have my take, so it doesn't detract that much from the holistic quality of the movie. I may re-watch this once it's streaming. 3.4 stars
