Avis à la une
I loved this movie, great acting, twisted storylines and some dark laughs.
I don't understand why it's rating is so low, some people have no sense of humour.

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.

Yes, David Lynch was the name that hit my head when I was watching this, of course it's not into a league of great movies. But still the slow pace, character build up, the grim backdrop, and the background music all blended well. Both the lead actors and most of the others did a fair job. Overall it's a good movie, a real movie, way better than the netflix junks.
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)
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.

- 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.
