“ Cross (Grievous) delivers an intense psychological drama set in the aftermath of WWI, when an English headmaster searches for the woman he fell for when he was at Oxford. After surviving combat, Jamie becomes headmaster at St. Stephen’s Academy. Despite his professional success, he continues to pine for Amanda, a lower-class Irish woman whom he dated before she suddenly left Oxford without explanation... Cross vigorously channels Jamie’s trauma as well, injecting the story with his anger upon returning wounded from the war... It’s a nuanced tale of love and loss.”
