Oh come on Leon! So if this film sides with a 'subversive' group of people it will naturally attract derision from mainstream critics. What a naive and childish viewpoint! This film deserves slating because it is absolute rubbish, in spite of Poliakoff's previous achievements. The plot, story and characters were unrealistic (the film aspired to be 'realist') and the dialogue was flat and vacuous. Literally all the performances, by a normally talented cast, were as flat as a fart. I'm sure this is one creation Stephen Poliakoff will be glad to flush down the toilet.
