A working class London family go through a dramatic point in their lives.
An amazing directorial debut from world renowned character actor Gary Oldman. The cast perfectly match his script and the story is reckless, reminiscent of an Alan Clarke movie. Loosely based upon his own upbringing, Oldman paints a bleak picture which is so three dimensional that you feel like a fly on the wall throughout. It's easy to see why this film isn't everyone's cup of tea, with it's claustrophobic atmosphere and scenes featuring excessive swearing and domestic violence, however it is an absorbing and realistic portrayal of the darker side of London life, with no glamorizing or mercy for the viewer.
