The critically praised Irish film Calm with Horses, starring Barry Keoghan, is now available to stream in the UK. Released in 2019, this crime drama centers on a man who works as an enforcer for a drug-dealing family.
In the series Shōgun, Cosmo Jarvis portrays Douglas ‘Arm’ Armstrong, a man striving to be a good father to his five-year-old son who has autism. His dedication to his job is challenged when he’s forced to commit a murder, testing where his true loyalties lie.
People in the UK can now watch the film on Mubi, as it’s been added to the streaming service.

If you don’t already subscribe, you can add this service to your Prime Video account and try it free for seven days. After the trial, it’s £11.99 a month.
Nick Rowland directs and Joe Murtagh writes Calm with Horses, a film featuring Niamh Algar (known from The Virtues), Ned Dennehy (Peaky Blinders), and David Wilmot (Hamnet).

The movie, called The Shadow of Violence in the United States, has a 94% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 71 critic reviews.
According to Pajiba, the movie works because it’s intensely violent, surprisingly moving, and keeps you on the edge of your seat.

I was really blown away by Calm with Horses. A review in The Observer described it perfectly – it’s a deeply absorbing story about troubled men and where their allegiances lie. It really gets you inside the head of the main character, and you feel everything he’s going through – it’s intense!
According to IndieWire, Calm with Horses is a surprisingly touching story about right and wrong, and marks the arrival of a talented new filmmaker. The film also showcases strong performances from its stars, Jarvis and Barry Keoghan, despite being set in a harsh and often brutal environment.
According to Screen International, the film is a bold and impressive declaration of the director’s talent, blending visually stunning imagery with sharply drawn, complex characters.
A first glimpse of Barry Keoghan in his upcoming film, Butterfly Jam, has been revealed before its debut at the Cannes Film Festival. The movie, directed by Kantemir Balagov, also stars Riley Keough, Harry Melling, Monica Bellucci, and Talha Akdogan.
