This against-all-odds relationship story I found a touch slow and I didn't buy the story either. I found although well acted by both leads, they just didn't have chemistry together. She is twice as big as him. He is to Asian and she is to Northern. Why is Ali collecting his Hungarian tenant's little girl from school? Why are those kids stoning Ali's car then getting in the car which is very strange behaviour. I found Ali got on my nerves and the music particulary the techno very irritating. The actions of both leads was dubious. Would Ali really have pursued a relationship after being threatened by the racist son with that sword? Would she have pursued a relationship with him knowing how her family would react? Would she have allowed Ali to sleep in her racist sons bed overnight? She put him there yet he could have gone home. They both appeared to live in rundown houses, yet she was a school teacher and he owned properties. Rather focusing on influencing each other on music tastes, they could have made more of the racist element of her son. The funniest part of the movie is when the son comes out wearing those national front boots. Why is the son almost always holding the baby. Just didn't believe it that much.
