Tyrannosaur

Meant to see it for ages but finally caught it at a charity Q&A with star Olivia Colman. Blown away. It's bleak, dark, disturbing and violent but there is also so much light, humour and hope. I almost blubbed when one of the characters was singing The Pogues at a wake.

Peter Mullan's character was a breath of fresh air because he had so many unlikeable qualities but the film lets you see into his heart and you do end up feeling for him. Olivia Colman should've got a best actress nod at the Baftas IMO.

Superb writing and directing from Paddy Considine with every detail of the characters lives and surroundings having been thought about. It's the kind of film that I can see being a totally different experience on the second viewing. Something I plan on doing again soon.
