DRAMAUnder Mike Leigh’s direction, David Thewlis’s depiction of Johnny is astounding. By turns hilarious and hateful, he turns his character into the ultimate anti-hero of our time, a complex mixture of cold, immoral cynicism and deeply passionate sympathy.
"a brilliant somersault of a movie that lands this fine English director in dark new cinematic territory."
