If I had to carp I might suggest that Heather Tobias's performance is a little too shrieky and manic - she in fact became upset over the birthday party scene and stormed off, which is why it ends up just on Dore with wild tracks of audio around her - and that Dore herself might have been allowed just one laugh or little smile. (She was in fact only sixty six at the time.)
"Two steaks. Same day. Totally different."
"Your hair's getting longer."
"I had it cut yesterday."
But central to it all and most successful is the relationship between Phil Davis and Ruth Sheen, who's unforgettably good.
And the film is still strong and moving,
Well edited by Jon Gregory with an eye to the performances. Photographed by Roger Pratt. Music by Andrew Dickerson.
