      Amber says that she wants to live in "Hackney, it's on the Victoria line." At this time Hackney had no Underground station; it still doesn't, it only has London Overground stations. The nearest Victoria line station is Highbury & Islington, two miles to the west.

    Teen movie is not my first choice always, but it did really interesting about the content of this movie. The teen is gay totally understandable that his teacher, dad, army mate - all are handsome n too cute. Probably the best Ireland LG movie I watch so far.
