Featured review
Uncompromising
A very uncompromising, direct portrayal of cultural life and tensions in the north, but with a heart and the daring to find humour in quite traumatic situations. From 2006, it's language (though accurate) and themes seem edgier than ever today, probably wouldn't get made in today's climate. I had no idea what it was about until I watched it, I just remember Mischief Night growing up then later discovered it was a peculiar regional phenomenon. Apparently the final part of a trilogy which started with Tina Goes Shopping in 1999, I'll have to check them out. Compelling viewing and some great performances.
