An off-beat short film by first-time director Tom Stuart looks at relationships in grief, love, and life. The script is minimalist in its content; however, the true essence is in the lead actor’s performance and both Whishaw and Bailey, deliver excellent executions. Accepting the present, tormented by the pain of the past, living with relations of varying nature and out of all this not letting them get you down with the steadfast steps to a better future.

The cinematography is very well contrasted with the theme, it is light and colourful, the house is in a pretty little English village, and the dishevelled son drives around in a late sixties VW camper van.

A film that deals with life and its tribulations in a quirky way does deliver and deserves its Oscar shortlisting. Wishing the film the best of luck!
