    A powerful and gripping performance by Peter Mullan. A top-notch actor. I wonder what film the Chicago Sun Times critic was watching.

    A little melodramatic and told in a ham-handed way, but still a fine tale of balancing obsession and priorities.

    A rich drama that gradually evolves into a feel-good story.
  2. The kind of drama that British television used to do so well, a well-constructed, smartly observed story of ordinary people learning how to communicate with one another.

    By turns whimsically humorous and intelligently sentimental, but also infused with a pungent air of working-class realism.
