Honestly, it has been a while since I have watched this flick and maybe I should re-watch it again at some point. Anyway, back in the 90’s, I was quite a fan of Ken Loach’s work and I’m pretty sure I saw this one in the movie theater when it was released.

"Two thirtysomethings, unemployed former alcoholic Joe and community health worker Sarah, start a romantic relationship in the one of the toughest Glasgow neighbourhoods. A brilliant movie with a sharp script which skilfully uses humour to counterpoint tragedy, some superb performances particularly from Peter Mullan in the lead role, and the excellent direction of Ken Loach, it could never be anything else. The story is completely believable and you can empathise with some of the characters. Ove"
