In this seductive British drama Michael Fassbender plays a young father and member of a Traveller family caught in a very tricky situation. The language is rich with slang ('gorgies' are people who live in houses), and you realize this is a movie made by someone knowing the territory. Their accents may not be perfect but the duel between father and son, with violence just underneath the surface, is extremely convincing. There are serious themes at play: family conflict and the inheritance as well as rejection of values. The film also delivers fun with details like hiding from a police helicopter under a cow or joyriding in tiny cars through estates both council and gentry. It's a teasing celebration of outsiderdom without being an endorsement.
