Jam (2009)
Excellent. A very moving little film!!
I saw this film at a film festival in Omagh in Northern Ireland last summer, and I thought it was very good. It was very emotional in parts, and although there were times I struggled to understand the accent and the speed of the dialogue, there was a strong universal story that was easy enough to follow. The young male lead actor was astonishingly good and the two gentlemen playing the two boys fathers were also very accomplished. The photography was beautiful at times, the wonderful song and great photography at the beginning helped to set up the story well. The story is told in a raw sort of social realism style. I was a little worried at the beginning with the disgusting bathroom scene. I thought I was in for something very grim, but the film is actually quite funny and has a subtle heart warming ending. I hope I get to see it again.
