Another lovely and funny film from Shane Meadows, if a little slight.
The two kids are excellent, very authentic and it was nice to see a small role for Kate Dickie also.
One thing: I really wish I hadn't known this was funded by Eurostar.
It's not that I'm against the idea morally or anything (well, not strongly) but the ending didn't work for me, it felt forced and over-romanticised, and there was this nagging thought as it played out that Meadows would have done things differently had he not had those backers.
Product placement is one thing, but when you feel the whole story and mood of a film is being engineered to fit a commercial agenda, hm, I'm not so sure.
