    Very impressed! For those of you who like the down to Earth, gritty British films such as those by Shane Meadows, you'll love this.

    Excellently captured the goings on a big coucil estate (in this instance just happens to be Leeds). Forget the political correctness, this fi...( read more)lm works because it's real life demonstrated at a level not everybody gets to see. As well as being gritty it is both humourous and serious too.

    VERDICT: A definite recommendation.

    I didn't like it. I don't like watching the tale of people who clearly are losers and can't have any responsibility for their actions. The irritation is simply too big.

    Not as good as Shameless but some funny bits. Worth a look. Gita from Eastenders stills this. Hilarious.

    so many stories around the so much english village of Leeds, with the near oriental influence the people changes, but the situations are still the same: shitty little brats, kids love, adults love, drugs and the always needed impulse of freedom

    It was funny and endearing. A very original movie that delivers a strong view on immigrants and racism on a whole different way.
