A searching examination of a young man’s troubled passage into adulthood, this subtle slice of social realism resists spiralling into bleakness thanks to a compelling central performance, assured direction and a script that skewers the off-hand indifference of adolescence. With the prospect of parole coming up surly young offender Roman takes a job with an undertakers, then tries to track down the mother who abandoned him. Don’t be put off by its apparently grim subject this terrific little film has an emotional honesty that raises the spirits and its constantly surprising story unfurls to touch on a wide range of themes and ideas.
