Jan McNulty Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 I had never even heard of this film till I got an email from a friend and then there was an item on Breakfast News about it a few days ago. My friend and I went to see it this afternoon and it was a total delight. It is one of the films I have most enjoyed in a long time. I don't want to give any spoilers but it is a small cast ensemble film about a family who plays Scrabble. Nothing really happens in it but I just got drawn into their lives and didn't want it to end! The ensemble cast, led by Billy Nighy, was just wonderful; subtle but meaningful acting at its best. The film, which was largely filmed in Liverpool opens with a scene by my favourite Iron Men on the beach very near where I live. It seems to have a very limited release but it is being shown at some Picturehouses. Do go and see it if you get the chance. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
