Bleak look at fifteen year olds in and around Ladbroke Grove, written somewhat bluntly, but effectively, by Noel Clarke, who gives a performance of glowering anger. None of the adults seem to know what's going on , and most of the kids are severely lacking in feelings in one way or another. They are Aml Ameen, Red Madrell (pregnant girl), Adam Deacon, Jaime Winston, Femi Oyeniran, Madeleine Fairley, Nicholas Holt, Cornell John (rather scary as Uncle Curtis), Rafe Spall.
Interesting music, shot by Brian Tufano (Sean Bobbitt was 'additional photographer'). Victoria Boydell was doing some very interesting things with split screen but otherwise I wasn't really paying attention to the editing, because I'm an arse. Though I recall now there was a good montage of the two girls taking drugs.
