A story about abuse and how it overpowers, overcomes and then spreads. A great cast does the story justice and Gary Oldman does a good job as director, I would like to see more from him! This is a great British film, fuck The Full Monty, watch this ya cunt!
Gripping, off-beat family drama. Winstone can do no wrong. Powerhouse performance!

Movies are generally viewed as a form of entertainment. There was no entertainment here just unrelenting misery. No thanks. Nil point

This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "Nil by Mouth" !
