If it was between giving up your returning son who you haven’t seen for years, even if you knew he was guilty, or holding him accountable and losing him forever, what would you do? Well, before Paul Mescal and Emily Watson were freeing Rome from tyranny in Gladiator II or plotting to take over the Imperium in Dune: Prophecy respectively, they teamed up for God’s Creatures, and Watson’s Aileen faced that exact issue. This grounded A24 drama follows Aileen after her son, Mescal’s Brian, is accused of raping a girl, Sarah (Aisling Franciosi), in a tight-knit Irish village. Pressured by Brian’s false alibi that he was with his mother at home rather than the pub with Sarah, Aileen must decide between family and justice.
