Opens right in the middle of the action - we don't go back until twenty minutes in, giving a great momentum. Very visual - looks rather than dialogue. A brilliant three hander by Lorraine Stanley, Georgia Groome and Johnny Harris (who was so good in This Is England). A tense, gritty experience with an absolute heartbreaker of an ending. Loved the associate criminal, who's clearly not a bad person, and looks increasingly uncomfortable dealing with this situation (all looks). With Sam Spruell, Nathan Constance, Claudie Blakley (briefly), Alexander Morton.
Intimate filming by Christopher Ross (Top Boy, Yesterday, Trust, Collision, Eden Lake), edited by Tom Hemmings. Williams remains very much on TV. He was BAFTA nominated for Most Promising Newcomer and the film won the British Independent Film award.
