Sarah Martinelli

Funny in parts but predictable script and only a few laughs. Script over reliance on swearing to get a laugh, overdone and unimaginative.

Drawn out, weak dialogue relying heavily on technical jargon, blinding the spectator. Sadly, characterisation unconvincing, especially child who was remarkably unfazed by all the surrounding trauma! Leant on background music to create tension, rather than the plot itself.

Brilliant dramatisation of the eighties in Birmingham amidst ‘the troubles’ in Northern Ireland- a family torn apart.

Brilliant escapism - quirky, fun and surreal at times. Dickens ‘ characters exaggerated hilariously, whilst able to recognize original story. Well worth seeing.
