Poetic
By maserade from Beds , 30 Jan 2005[Highly rated reviewer]
A good Scottish Indie effort. Some stretches of this film are very engaging. McKidd is brilliant and brutally honest. The film is brutally honest and quite painful at times. The girl who plays his first girlfriend is gorgeous!
I would recommend this film, although it can be a bit tedious and depressing, but its certainly novel viewing.- Was this review helpful to you?

By Turkle (4 reviews) , 19 Feb 2012There is no plumb line that can fathom the depth of how poor this film is. I was always a fan of the writer & director Jobson but unfortunately for him he is way out of his depth with this offering, it being badly written,directed & acted,some of it laughably so were it not taking itself so seriously. Sorry,but this simply isn't worth watching.- Was this review helpful to you?

16 years of alcohol
By a customer from Buxton , 24 Dec 2009In a film four style this film had no frills but non of the genious you would expect from film four. The story line was a bit flimsy and not particulary memorable. The acting was reasonably good and it was still worth watching.- Was this review helpful to you?

Simple but effective.
By a customer from Kirkcaldy , 20 Oct 2009Firstly let me say that this simple and tragic tale of violence and alcoholism and is wonderfully portrayed by the lead actor McKidd and well supported by the rest of the cast. Taken from family experience it tells us how fragile any happiness is when violence fuelled by drink is a major part of your life and often how hopeless it can be for the victims friends family and loved ones. The film is well directed by Jobson and the photography in and around Edinburgh is stunning, some of the internal shots reminding me of Jack Vettriano.
On the downside i fail to understand how someone like Jobson could sit down and view his finished work without realising the piano music was painfully too loud to the extent of obscuring the dialogue.Nevertheless an enjoyable if depressing film that I would recommend.- Was this review helpful to you?

Horrible
By eternal12 (53 reviews) from Croydon , 29 Apr 2009I didnt like this it, it just goes to show that drink for some people can be the root of all evil.
Not a nice true life film at all in my opinion, if you want to get depressed by all means watch it.
Drink is a depressant and this film is like that.- Was this review helpful to you?
