I love its mood, which represented well by the camera. The impression is always pea green or baby blue, from the boys' wearing to the surroundings, maybe it suggests that sixteen is the age when people begin to mellow their mind, but the sky was always grey that gave a heavy oppression on that nature desire. In some scenes I did felt the raw power through the lens, like the quarrelling between Liam and his sister when he found his mother was gone again. Much better than Trainspotting, in which, the actors seemed to enjoy the acting sometimes. And here those unprofessional actors really gave the film a documentary-like feeling. "My batteries are running low", what a sad sigh! It recalls my memories of my teenage times.
