When a former boxer is offered a gig as an enforcer with the local drug mafia, life seems on the up – but the demands weigh heavily as he makes inroads with his autistic young son, in Nick Rowland’s tender crime film. Evoking the early work of Neil Jordan, Calm with Horses – adapted from the short stories by Colin Barrett – is a brooding and frequently brutish experience with a world-weary fatalism just about counter-balanced by the seeds of hope.
