The reviews are a-ravin' already and I cannot wait till the 19th! I took a wee peek at the Film Distributors' Association and the title caught my eye, as did the small picture next to it. The distributor is Pathe and this ticked another box on my checklist of my 'ideal film'. It looks and sounds independent and home-grown and the reviews confirm this. And what's more, they all love it.
From what I've read it sounds like a heady summer film, richly fuelled with discovery and full of life lines being crossed, bent, pushed and snapped… apparently it goes to some dark places but nevertheless a must see. It's interesting that it's mentioned that despite this it should be released in the US - it seems that the Americans need to get a freakin' grip and stop trying to disguise truths with CGI effects (sorry, I'm still wounded after The Lovely Bones..)!
What's even more is that it is written my Skins scriptwriter Jack Thorne and directed by a young guy who goes by the name of Tom Harper - and he sounds nice because he 'has an innate feel for space and landscape and the shots, captured by Robbie Ryan, of the pair running along caravan roofs…' [Jason Solomons, THE OBSERVER] Fabulous.
This Is England's Thomas Turgoose stars alongside Holliday Grainger, who plays Emily; David's childhood friend and presumably first love interest.
I can see this being put into my favourite list but we shall see - I am wary these days….but I tell you no-one will be more delighted than me to see a beautiful summer film which has one of those twists..
