Editorial Reviews
From The New Yorker
Robert Carlyle stars in this surprisingly unsentimental tale about a young construction worker with multiple sclerosis and the effect his condition has on the people who love him. There's more black humor than you might expect in the low-key script, and the director, Michael Winterbottom, keeps the scenes crisp and engaging. Carlyle's performance is so sexy and quietly moving that the film has an intimacy rarely seen in illness dramas; there's no noble suffering here, just a courageous attempt to get on with things. -Bruce Diones
