Review of Better Things (2008) by Paul W — 12 Jan 2012
Recreational drug-taking never looked so dour - its almost an hour in before anyone smiles. Grey-sodden autumnal skies, track-marked teens and lonely OAP's share screen time in a loosely interwoven stream of consciousness set in an indeterminate, strangely familiar small UK town.
The overall effect is atmospheric and magnetic in parts, but I didn't find the use of amateur actors successful in this case, the lack of emotion meaning it will be quickly forgotten in my mind.
