Two charming actors with a seductive screenplay make a potential cringer into a really believable love story. Will they complete the story? Whatever, the conversations are believable, the scenarios are oddly attractive, the situations are extraordinarily ordinary. If you believe in love at first sight, watch this: I do, I know from my own experience - it happens, it works, it's the best way. Smaller parts are well scripted and acted. The leads take some bizarre routes through London though! And the continuity/commentary arrangement looks at first unlikely to work - but it does. Watch it! And again!

A delightful mix of humour (some of it dark humour), relationship building & breaking, religion & secularity, against a background of personal mental strife and potential suicide. All set in present-day Belfast but with the history & unresolved issues still dividing communities starkly visible.

Two very different people falling in love, two similarish people falling out of love, fame (or not), vindictiveness, empathy & understanding, the absurdity of the news, politics & entertainment worlds, the everyday absurdities of a supermarket & its staff, all combine to create immediate recognition in the viewer.

Tightly written, tightly directed, well photographed and superbly well acted - this is a gem. The leads are believable, sexy, intelligent, witty, supporting cast each perfect in their own ways.
