His near-future Britain is backwashed by past wars and war moods. The initially brusque heroine, superbly played by Saoirse Ronan, reminds us that Carroll's Alice was also a little sharp and stroppy: Ronan's Daisy even has Alice's Tenniel-illustrated surreal straight-falling hair. Daisy's romance with the older brother modulates from tersely shy to fairytale-touched, timeless-seeming. Golden hillsides; sinister marshlands; dark gothic woods; tangled wildernesses.
