Second Coming is a look at the life and struggles of a family living in London. An unexplained pregnancy forces a husband to doubt his wife's faithfulness while the wife must deal with the domestic recriminations and social stigma alone.
In a highly nuanced central performance, Marshall is both engaging and evasive, perfectly matching the fluid tone of Tucker Green's enigmatic urban parable.
Tucker Green certainly isn't shy about testing her audience's patience, and while she can sometimes get a bit too enamored with her own moody, elliptical atmospherics, there's clearly a unique imagination at work here ...
The title and central concept may be ripe with religious allusions, but there's no heavy-handed allegorising here. Nor does the film ever veer off into soapy drama: forget about any shock reveals or intrigues.
Leaves no doubt that its central supernatural event is 100% real, yet it makes absolutely no case for it whatsoever, and refuses to even engage with it.
