I've seen this a few times now. I wasn't sure if I'd like it so didn't watch it straight away. Silly me what a brilliant film. It's a laught a minute but it was also a peek at the grim times of Thatcherism. A social statement of men who have no other options available to them. Brilliant acting from the whole cast. The Director knew what he was doing. A must see.

It was beautiful and often bought a tear to my eye. Well worth the watch. Can not wait to read the original (translated into English). Big pity about censorship so the film could not be true to the book as one would like. However the tension, drama are all there. Well worth watching. Side Note: Due to Chinese censorship this should have been a BL not a Bromance. The book is not a Bromance it's hot steamy love affair between the two main male leads.

Watched this twice now and loved it. Would never have come across it if it wasn't for the Covid Lockdown.
