This may have made a good 30 minute short, but it is way too long, with amateur acting and a clumsy script.

It looks like a college/university project and I am afraid is not up to scratch.

The lead actor who played Jake was really engaging, and the dynamic between Alice and Guy was tense and great to watch. There were some great comedic moments, and other moments that put me on edge! For a film made with no budget it was a great watch on the big screen.

I found this film very dynamic.Never a dull moment and a tribute to independent film makers.

This is the best film I've seen in ages. A very refreshing change from the litany of manufactured Hollywood tripe. A fantastic cast of incredibly talented, and fresh faces, all of whom deserve to be incredibly successful. The story was very thoughtfully constructed and completely drew me in, Jake was marvellous and had me rooting for him right until the end. Alice, the woman he loves is incredibly sensitively portrayed, while there are startling performances from other supporting roles, especially the grumpy old lady in the neighbouring flat, and the shop girl. This is a film you absolutely, positively have to see. An utter gem .

Absorbing, funny, sad and shocking in turn, this is a thoroughly enjoyable film. Ignore the no-budget naysayers, this is slickly put together, loved and crafted piece of work which belies its no-budget development. The storyline moves beautifully, with some great characters and some memorable scenes: NY drugs baron meets miserable elderly lady is a classic. I was quickly invested in Jake and Alice and really cared what happened to them. Jake's gradual development over the course of the film is beautifully handled by Jamie Alderson. Mia Mills is wonderful as Alice, trapped in her deteriorating relationship, and when she finally goes into the attack, cushion in hand, I was cheering her all the way. The thoroughly unpleasant trio of Tom Loone, as Guy, Alice's dislikeable boyfriend, Ed Bergtold, as Big M, and Simon Crudgington, were great together. This is a film that its creators and The Midlands should be very proud of!

Such an original idea for a film, wonderfully executed by a phenomenal cast that brinsg the story to life. A funny, tense and moving exploration of loneliness, love and bravery. You become invested in the characters and desperately want Jake and Alice to win. Just when you think you have it sussed, it takes a totally different twist that leaves you on the edge of your seat. The character of Jake is perfectly portrayed and you become aware that he has quiet and misunderstood genius. Alice is so fantastically played too, and you feel her isolation and vulnarebaility whilst also admiring her courage and tenacity. A truly fantastic film that gives Indie Film it's brilliant and original name. A film to be proud of.

This charming indie film delivers a very uniquely British experience. Jake is the autistic guy bogged down by the unrealistic expectations of an intolerant society.

The film draws on obsessive aspects of his condition that allow him to solve the mystery in his own special way.

There are a number of comic set pieces that work extremely well but there is also a fine slow build that richly develops the relationships between Jake and the supporting characters.

It is not a stereotypical and delivers exactly what you would want from an "indie" film. It is heartwarming and refreshing and proves at the end of the day a good film is defined by an effective story not by millions of pounds spent on special effects.

The film starts slowly but once you get into the mood of it it hooks you with its subtle humour and intriguing storyline. Each character has something really special about them and you want to know more about them and find out what happens to them. The film felt completely different to anything I had seen before and I realised well into the film that I had a constant smile on my face. There are endless golden humour moments that are literally laugh-out-loud. Against this humour is the dark side of the story. Some naughty people up to a lot of no good and you are just willing the hero to succeed. I can't wait to see this film again and have advance ordered my Blu-ray. I saw one review that suggested it was obvious on occasions that it was low budget. He/she must have watched a different film. I thought it lacked nothing and it's simplicity was part of it's charm.

Starts slowly, building Jake's character, but events take a sinister turn.... Highly recommended!

This is a wonderful gem, solid off beat dark drama with an amazing story and script and a fine character ensemble of actors. Very intriguing tale and highly recommended!

The kind of low budget British indie that gives the industry a bad name. Just bad, bad, bad. Avoid.

This movie truly is rich with dark humor. The character Jake is oddly interesting and appealing. And I love how the story develops with Jake being the odd man out who must step outside his comfort zone in order to get out of a tricky and dangerous situation. And how he responds to it is simply hilarious yet very realistic. Love it!

Bravo folks! This film is so well done! It looks looks good, has good acting and a wonderful story. The humor that is sprinkled in here and there is ideal! I really enjoyed this one!!
