A van containing dead and half-alive people is found in Kent - some of them, it turns out, are immigrants being smuggled out. But the others? Rebecca Wojciechowski's screenplay for Familiar Faces - also involving drug gangs and missing teenagers - isn't I'm afraid very exciting.
Of more interest is another contribution from Jim & Dudi - Star (this time directed by Bindu De Stoppani) which looks at the music scene and the malign workings of an 'e-pimp' for social media influencers.
Velvy is working through his own shit - a wife and child he left behind in the orthodox community.
Hannah Rae plays both 'Star' and her sister in a neat twist but overall I wasn't too impressed with this one either - too much of the 'running away' stuff and a somewhat unbelievable murder. IT was Bindu's idea, apparently.
