Archipelago (2010) was written and directed by Joanna Hogg. It stars Tom Hiddleston as Edward. Edward has quit his job and is planning to volunteer in Africa.
His mother invites Edward and the other family members to join her for a farewell party on the beautiful Isle of Scilly.
This is Hogg's specialty--bring a group of adults together, and watch what happens next. Edward fights with his mother and his sister. His girlfriend wasn't invited. He considers seducing Rose, the professional cook hired for the occasion.
Hiddleston is a great actor--he's Hogg's muse. Scilly is a glorious island. The movie makes you think. I enjoyed it.
Archipelago has a terrible IMDb rating of 6.3. I thought it was much better than that, and rated it 8.
