Solid eight out of ten almost across the board for this short film with it's heart in the right place. The only two exceptions being the performances which are a nine plus, with especially a stand out performance by Jack Brocklebank in the lead role of young Ritchie. Regrettably though, every face in the film is bright orange, the film looks like it was shot on VHS or perhaps Mini-DV as the film is soft and poorly defined, the cinematography is the only thing that lets this film down from being a lovely exceptional short, great script and direction, one and all show great promise. Reviewed as part of the Manchester Lift-Off film festival.
