With an unsettlingly Jekyll and Hyde like performance from Kevin Howarth, writer/director Julian Richards superbly captures the essence of life-changing experiences. The resonance of a single event is beautifully explored here, this is a definite must for all British Film fans." - Ramchandra Solanki, Raindance.
