Nil by Mouth (1997)
7/10
In a word: Gritty
16 November 2001
This is a true to life smash-mouth tell-it-like-it-is story. No glamour. No glitz. No bull. Someone mentioned it's like a kick in the stomach. Boy, is it. This is no feel-good movie. But I felt closer to these folks than most movie people. They're real. Not pretty, but definitely real. If this movie makes it to your screen, see it. You should be able to understand the King's English. This film is not the best ever made, but Oldman gives you a solid story and an excellent directorial debut. Great stuff. 7 of 10.
