(Andrew Haigh/2011/UK)
Following
a weekend long romantic tryst between Glen and Russell as they
connect on a level that both recognise as life changing and which
forces them to reconsider their respective trajectories. Costing
£120,000 to make it sidesteps any limitations of that budget by
keeping things simple in terms of settings but creating a warmth and
intimacy that pervades the movie and carries the increasingly intense
dialogue between the two leads. It’s a lovely, accomplished piece
of work that resonates emotionally without ever being twee or
schmaltzy.
(4/5)
