GOOD REALISATION

I thought this was a good realisation of the graphic novel by Joff Winterhart - going back to the book afterwards demonstrated thart a good deal of care had gone into capturing the feel of the novel. There are comedic moments but it is not a comedy and, overall, nothing much happens. Having said that I found it satisfying and, in the end, positive. Strong acting throughout - particularly Monicsa Dolan and. Earl Cave.

It just didn't grab me

I liked some things - characters mostly, the mum in particular, but other than that I didn't feel particularly connected to any of it. It had a feeling of realness about it that kind of took me out of the movie at little. Appears to be rather low budget, and I think it almost certainly is, but the production style was a little too reminiscent of a 1990s British soap opera.As much as I've given it 4 stars I don't think it's bad, but there are too many elements that just didn't work well at all for me. The placement of camera's was one of my main gripes, as if the camera's just happened to be there, and served to make it feel not particularly well directed - then again, I later found out that it was previously a graphic novel - HUH? - so, perhaps some of the shots were directed in such a way that bared close resemblance to areas of the graphic novel. I will never find out - I certainly won't read it.The friend I watched it with loved it, and I was sat with him for his 3rd viewing, and can see other's really liked it. It just wasn't for me. I think it would have been much better with a slightly different approach. Oh another thing that grated on me was the soundtrack, which I thought was awful, the songs especially bad!
