This film is a genuine discovery, a little gem of a film. Playing something like a British take on the American Indie film Honeymooner mixes belly laughs with genuine emotion and heart. I was particularly impressed by Col Spector's strong grip on tone, the film avoiding the high gloss of Hollywood in place of an honest low budget simplicity which really draws you into what is an understated but surprisingly engaging character driven story.
The performances are strong across the board, Gerard Kearns and Chris Coghill shining in particular. I saw the film at the Cuculorous Film Festival and people were literally falling off their seats laughing. It's a real compliment to the director that Honeymooner's moments of sadness also hit home. I really hope the film gets a deserved UK cinema release. Thoroughly recommended!
