    A hip variation on the British kitchen sink drama it freely takes inspiration from the jazzy styles of Hong Kong cinema and music videos but confines them within the limitations of post-industrial realism. It depicts a world without a future but where lives are lit up with fancy. private or shared. An accurate description of how we live our lives, chained economically, spiritually uprooted, but on an imaginative wanderlust. Expand

    This is worth a 10 for the soundtrack alone.

    It's another subtle, fantastic performance from McKee ("Notting Hill," "Croupier").
  2. One of the best realistic dramas of the year.
  3. The energy is sapped by clinging condescension in the guise of compassionate liberalism.
