be a brit living in canada it be nice to see a glimpse of blighty . i like the way this film use the documentary style of film . the grainyness give it a even more realistic touch . gina mckee be outstanding a usual . it remind me a little of some mike leigh filcks . best of all i like the way it do not try to preach a so many film about work class brit ( like myself ) do and they show the character a flawed indivduals but there be a undercurrent of love flow in the film ( gina mckee scene with her dad always outside a to avoid her mother . ) sheer class the best english film i have scene for along time .
