The story just seems so derivative and there is nothing new to justify watching it. I struggled to finish it to be honest, my life is not the better for watching it. skip.

It was good and dark and funny. The lead was also the writer and director.

it starts as a comedy and it develops as a noir movie. Absolutely adore it. Emile Hirsch is great, craig roberts also. A very special movie.

Observer (UK)

Roberts is already a singular screen presence, and here acquits himself confidently behind the camera, handling the film's shifting tones with nicely cracked off-kilter humour.

All over the shop, but much about it is bold and lovable.

There's classy camerawork to recommend, but the story peters out.

Roberts is a clear talent for the future of British filmmaking - whether it's directing, writing or performing, he's unlikely to disappoint.

Despite being a little rough around the edges, Roberts has made an amusing coming-of-age tale which balances deadpan humour with a dark edge.
