Dir. Paddy Considine
Rating: [R18] Violence, domestic violence & offensive language
Genres: Drama
Feat. Peter Mullan, Olivia Colman, Eddie Marsan
Aroview: A violent alcoholic is drawn to a saintly thrift shop worker in this harrowing but redemptive kitchen sink drama from actor-turned-director Paddy Considine.
Combustible and unflinching, this recalls both Tim Roth and Gary Oldman's angry-young-actors foray into directing a decade earlier with THE WAR ZONE and NIL BY MOUTH respectively. Like those, it depicts its moral world with a blunt instrument, though is always effective as a fearless actor's showcase, central to which is Olivia Colman's heart-breaking performance.

5 stars (Exceptional) Remember Nil By Mouth. Nuff said. ~filmbuff77
5 stars (Exceptional) Outstanding, memorable movie in the style of Ken Loach. Gripping performances by Olivia Coleman & Peter Mullan. Gritty and grim but real ... and subject matter that we should not avoid. ~Rhonwen
5 stars (Exceptional) This sets the gold standard for romantic films. ~Tubbs
