Don't recall ever seeing a better low budget drama than this. I have to admit it always feels like a bit of a chore to set aside an evening for seemingly 'worthy' films like this - but this one was well and truly worth it. Not a second wasted, every scene and shot was brilliantly thought out and laced with purpose. The story and drama is totally authentic and utterly riveting throughout.

Aleem Khan is definitely a name to watch; can't recall seeing a better feature debut than this. Always loved Joanna Scanlan (reason we watched it to start with) - and she was fantastic - as we're the rest of the cast.

I actually found this more thrilling than any big-budget movie (in any genre) I've seen in ages. Thoroughly recommended - especially if you think it might be boring! Bravo to all involved. Great filmmaking.
