 I saw it a couple of weeks ago. I can definitely recommend  
 It's deeply disturbing 
 Very realistic. At times almost like an educational film which actually makes it more terrifying. I'm too old to be easily touched by a film and yet this did it

And to think I was imagining post-apocalyptic splatterpunk 😅 
 I wonder how it looks to Americans (I assume you're both Americans or non-brits at least). Wondered if you'd have to be a Brit to find it even watchable lol. There's the v similar american one too The  Day After. Shame archivedotorg is down  
 I'm non-Brit and non-American but the world depicted in the movie is 40-year old so it's probably as foreign to anyone these days as it gets. And it quickly becomes agnostic in these regards (I need to be vague to not give away too much)
