God’s Creatures suggests that she’s right to be.

“Boys will be boys,” his sister Erin (Toni O’Rourke) chides being a new mother to an infant son herself, she knows all about the O’Hara men and is wary of what she knows. You get the sense that he’s mostly looking for an expeditious way to make money as a laborer, because this is what he starts doing - with his mother’s help - as soon as he gets home, breaking the rules just so to get what he wants, even when it’s dangerous. Brian is a young man and a little impatient.

He did not stay in touch while he was away, breaking his mother’s heart, though some part of her must have remained optimistic about his return, because in the meantime, she’s maintained payments on his fishing license - just in case. Brian ( Paul Mescal, of Normal People fame) is something of a mama’s boy. It’s a somber occasion - a local fisherman has just drowned - but for Aileen, especially, this is a joyous moment. The son of Aileen O’Hara (Watson) has just come home, showing up in their tiny, Irish fishing village unannounced after some time away in Australia. Saela Davis and Anna Rose Holmer’s eerily effective God’s Creatures, starring Emily Watson, opens with an unexpected return.
