Starter for 10 2006
I was recommended this by a mate for its soundtrack alone, and they were absolutely right - this is chocked with bangers!
But it started to annoy me after a while. Especially when you have the main character finally and triumphantly kiss the love interest, and they decide to play Pictures of You by The Cure.

Available on BBC iPlayer :)
I’m a bit gobsmacked. My only criticism is that there’s maybe one or two moments of wobbly acting. But regardless, you truly feel every bit of this!

This film achieves so much in such a short run time. It’s genuinely harrowing, frustrating, upsetting, and then finally haunting.
