This isn't a work of genius, but it is very much a resonant film about people coming to terms with loss. It's not a sweeping epic. It's a little slice of life. The acting is truthful, the film-making assured. The sentiment is honest and it's clear that the ambition of the film isn't that it be so clever and intellectual and rich with great pulp dialogue.
It's a film about people, with a little insight into the insanity of misplaced ambition in Western culture. Ricky Brown is like many of us who feel we can't cope at times. He has the balls to run, and the balls to go home to face the music.
Films with a taste of humanity are rare in cinema today. TV has become the place to find great stuff about people coping with life. But cinematic gems like this one have the freedom of expression that TV often does not afford.
