Well worth watching if you like the style of This is England and Dead Man's Shoes.

Filmed with hand-helds, super realism, brilliant performance from Katie Jarvis who had never acted before.

The film captures the emotional wasteland in inner city developments and the destructive power of alcohol. Excellent film.

Agreed, watched this several months ago. Superb film though I suspect it will be a bit marmite.

Have you seen Romeo Brass then Trout??

No - is it one I should seek out?

dnc

Definitely. SM's best to date IMO (Dead Man's Shoes a v close second). V dark humour, Paddy Considine is superb in it. Amazing dance sequence in it at the seaside, well worth it for that alone - can get clips of the dance on you tube

Get it, 'A Room for Romeo Brass'!

I absolutely love Dead Man's Shoes. I found This is England a bit of a disappointment.

Will check it out thanks.

Just had a look at the dance on youtube . There's also a mish-mash of some of the funny parts on there. Would link it but don't know how .

Agree that whilst This is England was good, it is not in same league as DMS or ARFRB. ARFRB has a Meadows cameo, Considine, Andy Shimm, Vicky McLure and Frank Harper.
