Scottish writer-director Ben Sharrock announces himself as a filmmaker to watch with this distinctive, deadpan drama about the strangeness of seeking asylum. With a gentle, observationist eye and a talent for balancing farce with melancholy, he captures both the austerity of the Scottish landscape and the loneliness of his characters with remarkable levity.
