Magic Marmalade 1st Jul 2023		Very tough watch. But a great portrayal of an abusive relationship, and examination of what may be behind it.

BiggieTembo 15th May 2015		I watched this with my Danish girlfriend, whilst living in London at the time of release. In the possession of a keen language-ear herself, she was nevetheless amazed that you could do that London thing of using the c-word with the ending -ing, as in "GET IN THE C**NTING CAR!". So she went round for a few weeks turning the air blue with that. It was quite amusing in Tesco's.



nboldock 15th Apr 2015		Simply the best movie I've ever seen. Not for enjoyment purposes - fun it isn't - but it's just an outstanding piece of work in every way. Art, you might say. Uncomfortable viewing in places (one violent scene in particular is extremely tough to watch), this is a movie which is bleak and dark from start to finish. It's what some people would call "depressing", but for me it's a masterpiece, and the performances by Kathy Burke and Ray Winstone in particular are absolutely world class. It's a shame Burke hasn't done more serious acting because on this evidence, she is supremely gifted (she won Best Actress at Cannes for this role). Don't watch this if you are offended by swearing (the film would be about 10 minutes long if you took out all the words beginning with F or C) or are looking for a good laugh (though having said that, there are some fabulous moments of black comedy in this film - look out for Mark's story about his heart attack for one...). But if you like to be challenged by a movie and be made to think, watch it.
