Only 65%?Some of your reviewers are planks..
A tour-de-force.The best British film since Trainspotting-if you enjoy meat for the mind- if you want enjoyable no-brainer fare,watch Hot Fuzz. Grief,redemption and learning to move on are central themes in this slow- building, intriguing thriller set in an outwardly bleak Glasgow but with a Renoir-like humanity ultimately shown by brilliant debut director Andrea Arnold.Many times you think a character might be unsympathetic or evil only to be shown otherwise. Would make a good double-bill with Haneke's Hidden, what with the CCTV's ambiguous gaze at its heart. She doesn't say much as Jackie,(the central character),so Kate Dickie' s poignant,tortured,sad face carrys the spare plot along.A remarkable performance.

Road to nowhere
After watching this film, no wonder I am reverting back to watching American films. A slow build up to disappointing end. Some bits suprised me with levels of nudity that I wouldn't have expected from a BBC film, overall not a good film by any means
