On Swift Horses is not your typical love triangle. The film, in theaters now, follows Muriel (Daisy Edgar-Jones), a young woman who finds herself in a traditional marriage with Lee (Will Poulter), only to share a special bond with his brother Julius (Jacob Elordi).

In “On Swift Horses,” set in the 1950s, and out Friday in Boston, both Muriel (Daisy Edgar-Jones) and Julius (Jacob Elordi) go on searching, sometimes painful journeys trying to find themselves in an era when women were devalued and homosexual acts were criminalized.
