Has its clunky and wince-worthy moments, it does explore some new territory, and there are moments when it's quite fresh and moving.

Plods along, never catching dramatic fire, sometimes suffering from amateurish acting and often relying on its intrusive and treacly music to impart mood and rhythm.

A straightforward drama done with a maturity and conviction impressive for a first film.
