    Having served his apprenticeship on the 1996 TV series Our Friends in the North, Simon Cellan Jones makes his feature debut with this low-key study of psychiatric instability and its ramifications. The director occasionally allows Joe Penhall's adaptation of his own play to become stagey and soap-operatic, and there's a lack of impact in the conventional relationships his schizophrenic central character (Daniel Craig) has with his café-owning brother, David Morrissey, and sassy Scot Kelly Macdonald. Yet Cellan Jones still manages to give an immediacy to the action by using flash-editing techniques to convey Craig's distorted world. It's an intense, affecting and well-acted film, but despite some quirky “real world” backdrops it's always a drama and never life.

    Unambitious small-scale drama concentrating on a fractured relationship between the two brothers; despite the creditable performances, it would seem best suited for the TV movie 'disease of the week' spot.

    A Must

    This is an authentic and honest look at mental illness. This is a reality for many people and is a reflection of some peoples lives.

    An intesting, entertaining and often funny look at this serious issue.

    Worth a look
