what the others say
Scotsman
"A compelling, compact melodrama which shows you something pretty unbearable right at the start then dares you to keep watching."
Empire
"A great deal more than a misery memoir on film, this character study is as gripping as any hardboiled thriller, delivering emotional content that'll stay with you for a long time. Highly recommended."
Time Out
"It's not a particularly deep or unique statement, but Considine howls it with sincerity and conviction."
