If it weren't for the drugs, guns, joy-riding and bad language, this movie could be a viewed and enjoyed by the whole family. As is I'd say, "your" family has to be pretty liberal. I'm not sure what market this... Full review

A great film, offering a slice of life in present-day Leeds that most of use would rather not know about. The plot is almost incidental. The film's success lies in the portraits of the two families, one native white, the... Full review

Unpleasant film! Most of the characters are foul-mouthed drug-dealing thieves and the only 'uplifting' thing about the film is that this behaviour is glorified, even in children.This is politically correct film-making by the numbers - strong 'empowered' females (demonstrated by... Full review

This movie, which I saw in an industry preview, has the potential to be a big hit but it has a scene with a dog that is repugnant and unnecessary. That scene should be cut. It also has another repugnant... Full review

This is a bit of a 'slice of life' type movie. The plot isn't really the key thing, it seems. Two poor families live near each other in Leeds, UK, on either side of a large park. On one side... Full review
