How not to end a movie

The Glaswegian accent is not too hard to understand. Nothing a couple of Irvine Welsh novels can't fix.

I did enjoy most of this film, but was left wanting. I get that his 'genius' persona is clashing with bureaucracy and family history, but as it is the main theme, it should have been explored more.

His transformation from model student to thug after witnessing a bathroom dust-up, was a bit of a stretch. Why follow that up with throwing fire-crackers into a friends house?

Granted, I was into my 8th Té Bheag when the third act started, but what a mess. Is he a kid again and meets his delinquent future self? Was he really having an existential epiphany? How does that help an otherwise entertaining story? Was I just drunk? Help me out, I really wanted to like NEDS.
