Star rating: ***
Dir: Matthew Thompson
With: Aaron Johnson, Thomas Grant

TWO boys are left alone after the death of their mother in this moving if slightly rough around the edges British drama. Rising star Aaron Johnson plays the hedonistic Danny, who is 18 and in theory old enough to look after his younger brother Jack (Thomas Grant). What neither can anticipate is the enormous impact their mother's passing will have.

Matthew Thompson's film benefits from the strong performances of the two young leads, though the going gets tough for them, and the audience, towards the end.

Tonight, 7.30pm, Cineworld Fountain Park
