    Great film dealing with a challenging subject brilliantlly portrayed in two performances that allow us two engange and release as they do.

    I thought this film was outstanding. Great central performances and beautiful textured cinematography. I though the editing was a real plus point too - interesting use of flash forward with a narrative directed through the stand up. I hope there's more to come from Molotnikov in the future - this was an assured debut feature, no question about that.

    A fantastic film with a great cast. This one was my pick of the fest and not just because it was set in Edinburgh!
