The always excellent Andrew Scott, most recently seen as the “sexy priest” in Fleabag, brings an angular authenticity to the central performance in this drama set in small-town Ohio. He plays Donny, a sanitation worker with mental-health issues whose obsession with the death of a local child puts him in the frame of suspicion. Unfortunately, Scott is the most persuasive element in a film that is atmospherically photographed by Marcel Zyskind but let down by a clueless screenplay which borders, at times, on the risible.

Watch the trailer for Steel Country.
