Avis à la une
Thought this was a good movie but the only problem is the lack of subtitles. Being deaf I have to rely on subtitles. So the comment about Americans not understanding the speed in which we speak is really silly and the person really hasn't thought this out properly.
Americans bemuse me, asking for bloody subtitles, yet i seem to understand all of your accents? No wonder the world says 'dumb yanks'. On point, what an excellent little indie, full of the cream of British actors/comedians. Tight as a gnats chuff script, great acting and cinematography and lovely dark humour peppered throughout. Again i don't give 8's lightly but come on...Subtitles? (it had them for the welsh bits) Go and watch a bit of World cinema (And not Hollywood crud) this film was great. Well deserving of the 8, as it was written brilliantly. Meh, heathens make my blood boil. Anyway 8+ (just to anger the stupid)
Really enjoyed this eccentric story which uses the Welsh landscape to great effect - creating a storyline that moves along but that feels imbued with a languorous quality. The cast was fantastic, particularly loved Annes Elwy.
If you like quirky and off beat I'd highly recommend.

This movie was made by a Welsh lover of Quentin Tarantino and Ennio Morricone, unfortunately having the talent of neither; although it was enjoyable in parts, it felt like an extended sunday night TV programme, rather than a movie. One comment I will make is to the reviewer who doesn't understand the need for subtitles. Most foreigners, including Americans can't understand UK accents or keep up with our pace of speech.
Enjoyed this film, which is clearly shot on a limited budget, with a small cast who were all excellent.
It manages to tell an interesting story set within some well shot Welsh scenery and it kept me watching to the end. If you want an action film this clearly isn't the film for you but as a small scale character piece with some humour then I'd give this a try. Kind of in a similar vein to Restless Natives if anyone reading this remembers that film.

- AnecdotesDixie, who is dressed in an Elvis Presley outfit throughout her appearances in the film, mentions wanting to "get to Porthcawl for the Elvis Festival", which she hopes to win. Porthcawl is a well-known Welsh seaside resort, about eighty or ninety miles from the scene of this film's events and in a different county, and it does hold an annual weekend event honoring "the King", where many hundreds of Elvis impersonators from all over the world compete to see who's the best lookalike.
