This is my absolute favourite Peter Mullan film. He is incredible in this movie. I watch it behind closed fingers, as at times its a bit too much, but he is such a complicated monster in this film. If you're a Mullan fan, like me, then you HAVE to make this top of the list. Olivia Coleman is also brilliant in this. I hope the director makes more films, as he is definitely a talent. If i had a criticism of the film, its that it feels more like a TV drama than a film at times, but the acting and the way its written raise it up to being an amazing experience. I would hesitate to recommend this film. As long as you have a strong stomach.

Powerful stuff!

Caught this on iTunes last night, and wanted to write about it. Was searching for Peter Mullan films I hadn't yet seen (am big fan). Thought this film looked like a "yeah Brov" sort of film, but gave it a go. Glad I did, cos it was a really good film. Not amazing like Peter's own films, but he was great in it (as usual).
I did a bit of research after watching the film and I can see how it was biographical. It definitely feels very raw in places. If i had a criticism I'd say it could have done with some quieter moments, as its pretty full-on. But I don't mind that too much. the other actors are good, especially the lead guy, who I hadn't seen before. Overall, I gave it 7/10. its a lot better than most of the Brit films I've seen, and another brilliant performance from my favourite actor.
