Quiz
The film sparked a censorship debate in the UK regarding the amount of bad language used. Under current British Board of Film Classification rules, multiple uses of the word "fuck" usually only warrant a 15-certificate, but a single aggressive use of the word "cunt" tends to lead to an 18-certificate, as was the case with this film. Opponents argued that an 18-certificate would prevent the people who could most closely identify with the characters from going to see the film, and that such language was much more common, and therefore less offensive, in the north of the UK, where the film was set. The London-based censors stuck to their guns. The local authority covering Inverclyde, where the film was shot, used their cinema licensing powers to award the film a 15-certificate for screenings in the area.

harrowing, true life account of life in Greenock.

As someone who comes from Greenock originally, my first draw to this movie was curiosity. Having said that, I fell completely for the story of Liam. His character, played by Martin Compston, could be one of many lads that I grew up with. The need to be 'one of the big boys' an all prevalent force in this deprived, former shipbuilding town; even if that need is self destructive. The performances are stellar throughout, only the mother's character is weak. I am unsure if this is deliberate, or bad acting. Perhaps the film could have explored the lack of employment and the sectarian divide more, however it does tackle the drugs issue very well indeed. The other thing that may put people off is the language. There is nothing unusual about the frequency or the strength of it for Grenockians. But it is more usual for a filmmaker to give an essence rather than soak the audience in every single word.
