This is absolute Rubbish!!!
This is one of those movies that, right from the outset, just grabs you in a wonderfully persistently ticklish way. You don't know why you like it, or even if you should like it so much, a bit like falling in love with the wrong person. Completely charmed, spellbound, but you feel a little bit dirty too. Starring the small but perfectly formed Jamie Bell as our protagonist Hallam Foe, we are taken along on his journey through bewildered, grief-stricken, slightly bizarre teenhood along that perilous path to reconciliation, love, and self-knowledge that is adulthood (well, you live in hope). It's a bit dark, sometimes disgusting, occasionally hot and sexy in a twisted kind of way and just real and funny and plain charming. Great one-liners! But I won't spoil it for you. PLEASE GO AND SEE THIS FILM. When I went to see it I got a free badge - I can't promise you will too, but there is much enrichment on all levels to be had here beyond the getting of the badge.
