One of my favorite films from the area of Glasgow I lived in. Real Glasgow humour. Peter Mullan's short films also on DVD. Close is a classic as well.

Extremely styalised dark humour, this probably isn't to everyone's taste, but if it is then it can be very enjoyable.

This, to my mind, is brilliant. A gem of a Scottish film. Gritty and humourous tho i wouldn't class it as a comedy. If you haven't seen it.. don't prejudge it by other comments it will surprise you.

There is no morale or redemption behind this pretentious trash. Each and every unlikeable character stumbles through one unpleasant situation after another, and Mullan has little care about how his audience is to connect to any of it.

best fucking film ever! IDST About as dark as it gets as far as comedy goes and made me laugh until it hurt.

do you remember when we went to the Fine Arts Theatre and saw this? there were only about 5 people in the audience... even with the occasional humor the film was so dark and depressing, and then there was THAT scene. you and i looked at each other ...

Okay this film is a boring, weak, uninteresting piece of fecal matter. And I wish zero star would be a rating.
I hope i won't get deleted this time.

My guess is that Mullan never decided what tone his film should aim for; he fell in love with individual sequences without asking how they fit together.
