"... a tightly written
and superbly acted piece that explored the difficulties of being
a twenty-something living in London in the last throes of the
20th Century. Very similar to the Australian television series
"The Secret Life of Us" (which aired here on Channel
4 in 2001), this film is funny, touching, absorbing and confronting.
The relationships between the characters are raw and realistic
- sometimes disturbingly so." "... this movie made me
laugh and think and get teary too. I really enjoyed the performances
of Rebecca Nunn, Sally McLean and James Buckley ... they all
played their characters beautifully. Aki Omori was very cute
and highly annoying (in a good way!) ... I was also surprised
to see Alistair Barrie ... as I've recently seen him at The Crack
Comedy Club (and thought he was hilarious), so it was great to
see him in a strong dramatic role. Zara Balfour was suitably
rebellious ... and David Hankinson did wonders with probably
the least amount of dialogue in the film. Really, the whole cast
was incredible." "... fun, thought-provoking
... The cast were superb, all of them giving strong performances,
particularly Rebecca Nunn, Joanna Goodchild, James Buckley and
Sally McLean. David Hankinson was under-used, but excellent in
the scenes that he had. All up, it was a cohesive and well-supported
ensemble performance ... a journey into friendship and relationships
- not always happy - that gave a solid insight into the complexities
of surviving as a young adult in a not-so-sympathetic modern
world." " ... immensely enjoyable
... wonderfully realistic ... refreshing ... The cast played
their well defined characters superbly without exception ...
(the dramatic events in the film) were handled both by the cast
and writers with skill and sensitivity." "Shot on digital video
.... the 45-minute film about a group of vibrant and confused
young people was strong..." "... a splendid piece
..." "... a lot of heart and
a good story." "..Salmac Productions'
first film, A Little Rain Must Fall ... was launched in
London in July this year and resulted in discussions with both
the BBC and Bravo (pay TV) channel." |
