British actor Paddy Considine made his directorial and screenwriting debut with this bruising and kinetic kitchen-sink drama - filmed in Leeds - about the friendship between an alcoholic man and an abused wife. At its core: a trio of impressively lived-in performances from UK actors Olivia Colman, Peter Mullan and Eddie Marsan.
