what a self indulgent mess . duncan roy film be apparently autobiographical and however it impossible to find any glimmer of emotional truth in this chaotic and badly act and woefully amateurish fiasco . in a way and you have to admire the ball of a man who through grim determination and a very generous benefactor manage to make a film about his own rise and fall from abuse and work class lad to criminal english lord . however and the tone be either so self pitying or so arch and that it impossible to engage with either character or plot . the raw material be potentially great stuff and however roy seem unable to tease out the kind of tale that should grab you by the throat and then move you to tear . and it a complete mystery why it be ever make to be screen a a triptych of image presumably because a single image would have be too tedious to watch . it also interest to see so many otherwise good actor bill nighy and diana quick and lindsay coulson give career bad performance .
