I watch almost every movie released in this category and this is the best this year so far. Set in dreary out of season Margate this is a story about a small time dealer who tries to the right thing (his words) and look after a small girl after he accidentally kills her father. This film is about his struggle to keep all his plates spinning and look after this small girl. An awful lot of films set in England have a kind of gritty Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels feel to them but this is different, conveying the grim reality of living in a broken town among broken people, scratching an existence out of a poverty torn part of the country. I enjoyed this film right from the start and the director carried me through the film to its inevitable and extremely well thought out conclusion. If you enjoy this genre then this IS the film for you, don't miss it!
End of line.

Didn't we have a lovely time the day we went to Margate!
A Little Bit Of British Magic
I don't normally like these English, cockney, ard nut, wide boy gangster type movies but this one was a real joy as it diverges from the usual plot and style and goes its own way.
Super mix of music, interesting photography and some good performances, notably Nathanael Wiseman - I cannot for the life of me understand why he has not gone anywhere after this film as he carries the whole film on his shoulders and you get a real feel for his character and whilst yes as one of the other reviewers has said the acting from the rest of the cast is not great it is the story that matters and for the budget which i imagine was not that much, they did a cracking job.
Its a really rather haunting little movie and the soundtrack is just about perfect along with the visuals. Sometimes you find a gem amongst the coal and this has been a rather good evening's entertainment!
I thought British film-making was dead - Apparently not!
I Liked The Drug Dealer Takes Care Of A Little Girl Part The Best
03/13/2020 Young drug dealer, just by chance, happens on to a young girl with no apparent adults to take care of her. Having grown up without a father he assumes the responsibility of her welfare, drugs now take life's back seat and the rest of the movie unfolds from there. Not great but not bad either. Being responsible for a child was my hook, I watched every minute of it. Bon Appetit
