Review of Tyrannosaur (2011) by Nadia M — 20 Feb 2012
A grim, but impressive T-Rex of a Brit drama.
An excellent but hard to watch and grasp Brit film, undoubtedly Meadows-esque and as gritty, real and dark as they come. Considine directs impressively, the film is well shot and paced and features excellent acting contributions from an odd placed Olivia Colemen (from Peep Show fame), Peter Mullan (Neds director) and Eddie Marsen (many films).
Fans of dogs may wish to avoid.
Plot â" A drunken widower's path crosses with an abused wife's in this grim, dark and brutal tale about unhappy existences, in the North of England.
Paddy Considine is obviously talented when it comes to films (acting or directing with this his first) having learned from the excellent Shane Meadows, it will be interesting what he does next!
