"My mother is worried I have mental problems."
The bitter sweet coming of age story about Oliver Tate (Craig Roberts), who is fixated on Jordana (Yasmin Paige), and sets about getting her as his girlfriend. Meanwhile he also has to contend with his parents potential break-up, as he tries to prevent his mother (Sally Hawkins) from running off with old boyfriend Graham (Paddy Considine).
A fine, visually stimulating debut, but one that is dragged down by a melancholy that pervades the script, so that ultimately we have a good film, rather than a great one.
