100An unforgettable film.
-
80Roy's story is fascinating in its own right, exploring the hero's mingled shame over his class background and homosexuality, and painting a vicious portrait of Britain's coke-snorting upper crust in the late 70s.
-
60Subtle performances and the "you are there" immediacy conferred by digital video give Roy's film the feel of a series of stolen moments.
-
The technique adds little in the way of illumination and a lot in terms of inducing a migraine.
