Tyrannosaur

England w/d Paddy Considine Peter Mullen, Eddie Marsan

Hard-to-watch film about two lost souls coming together in mutual support after being battered by life in England's lower reaches. The opening scene featured one of the leads kicking his dog to death in a drunken rage. Much violence...actual and verbal...throughout.

Although it was very well acted and ended on a positive note this one was an ordeal to get through. If you witnessed any of these scenes in real life it would be traumatic and would haunt you for years.

I had trouble understanding the muttered language and would have liked English subtitles. This was more a film to admire than to like.
