Funny to think I saw this right after Finding Nemo. Both are films about families in dire circumstances but suddenly the barracuda in Nemo seems pleasant. This film is written and directed by Gary Oldman. Amazing. He is amazing and this film is a vision we rarely get to glimpse on the big screen. True raw emotions and circumstances that are painful but real. Nothing is romanticized or apologized for. Ray Winstone, Kathy Burke, and Charlie Creed-Miles are stand outs but everyone is amazing. I found it very difficult to watch this film and yet very compelling. Between this and “Sexy Beast” I will now make a point to see any Ray Winstone movie.
Favorite moment: Ray and Val with the family getting ready to go to a Christmas party.
