A Welsh teenager wants to become the cool kid by befriending his American neighbor.

Mark Kermode

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.

Rated: 3/5

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.

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 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.
