As others have suggested, Bait is a lot more interesting as a film artefact than for its narrative themes. It's a shame that the bracing originality of Mark Jenkin's approach is in the service of such a banal, nuanceless story about the impact of second-homers on a Cornish fishing village. At times it's hard to distinguish between studied anti-realism and amateurism, particularly in some of the performances.
