Set on an isolated farm in Shropshire in 1657, The Delivered tells the story of Fanny Lye, a woman who learns to transcend her oppressive marriage and discover a new world of possibility -- albeit at great personal cost. Living a life of Puritan stricture with husband John and young son Arthur, Fanny Lye's world is shaken to its core by the unexpected arrival of two strangers in need, a young couple closely pursued by a ruthless sheriff and his deputy.

4/5

Here, the mist-shrouded farm and its environs are artfully photographed and framed, and the result is a film that is not only strong and uncompromising but also exceptionally beautiful.

...The Delivered offers just the same old violent male fantasy dressed up as a woman’s liberation; I Spit on Your Historical Grave would be an apt title...

2.5/5

Fanny Lye Deliver’d is most definitely a slow burner, unable to conform entirely to either folk horror or historical drama: you won’t forget this film in a hurry.
