Ruth is haunted by glimpses of a woman with long red hair—in the water, outside in the dark—whom no one else seems to see
FOR MANY people there is a moment, on the cusp of adulthood, when you feel out of place within your own skin. That is certainly the case for Ruth , a shy and slightly awkward girl. “Make Up” begins when she turns up at a Cornish caravan site in the middle of the night to join her boyfriend, Tom . He’s worked there for the past few summers; she’s never been allowed to visit before.
Written and directed by Claire Oakley—this is her debut feature—the plot of “Make Up” is sparse. Yet the film is an unexpected treat, by turns terrifying and tender. Ruth’s relationship with Tom chills along with the weather and she is haunted by glimpses of a woman with long red hair—in the water, between deserted cabins, outside in the dark—whom no one else seems to see.
Soon the film’s only source of warmth is Ruth’s friendship with Jade , an alluring Cornish girl who also lives and works at the caravan site. She is smiling and vivacious, paints Ruth’s nails scarlet, gets her drunk, makes her laugh and asks her questions about herself. “I came here to get away,” Ruth tells her. “No you didn’t,” Jade says without rancour. “You came here to be with Tom.” Her company is free of stifling judgment, and Ruth unfurls like a flower.
