    • Trivia
      In the early bar scene where Joseph is sitting alone talking to himself, the voice off screen saying, "Are you all right, Joseph?" belongs to director Paddy Considine, who said he was so taken in by Peter Mullan's performance that the question was totally spontaneous.

    • Quotes

      Hannah: Why Tyrannosaur?

      Joseph: What?

      Hannah: You said something about your wife Tyrannosaurus or something?

      Joseph: What's Tyrannosaurus about? Yeah

      [nods head]

      Joseph: It was a joke name... In Jurassic Park you know the movie, there's a scene where the kids are scared, they're looking out the glass and they hear the Tyrannosaur coming. As it thumps its way towards them

      [thump, thump, thump]

      Joseph: the glass starts to ripple... So

      [sighs]

      Joseph: my wife was a big lady, and you'd hear her going up the stairs and it was like

      [thump, thump, thump]

      Joseph: I swear if I had a cup of tea on the sideboard you'd see the same ripples in my tea. So I called her the Tyrannosaur.

      [bows head and looks away]

      Joseph: I was being a cunt.

    This is the real England....
    Seeing "Tyrannosaur" is an experiment of life: the reality described is not so different from the everyday life of many of us.

    Mr. Considine is able to realise, thanks to a perfect script and superb actors, a small masterpiece and a perfect debut.

    The story set in a Leeds of charity shops and pubs, tells the anger, frustration, domestic violence, so common in this early-century England.

    Over time we learn that the request for aid between the main characters becomes mutual, up to a finale as unexpected as disturbing.

    Well done to everyone, but honour to Peter Mullan about holding the entire film with a surprising force and fragility.

    Highly recommended.
