Had to walk out of cinema

Realistically, none of you should be watching the film if all you have to offer about it in terms of a critical view is the camera work.
Saying the camera work and editing is shoddy is just unbelievable. I'll agree with some of the comments about the idea being very good but the execution being poor; however I feel you are ignorant to any sense of style that isn't locked off, smooth, steady-cam style film-making.
I loved the camera shaking. Its a brilliant device to make the viewer feel uncomfortable and to convey the ever apparent tension within the characters of the film. It's to add a heightened state of anxiety. Which if you live in a rough area you can relate to when just walking down certain streets you can feel shaky and paranoid. Which I think was the goal to show the paranoid, fear driven Britain of contemporary society; an opposition to the Hollywood view of the UK. And also, I think its a directors right to experiment with different methods of story telling. Not his strongest film however it has its good elements and proves maybe as a vehicle to drive new ways of dealing with social realist contexts in a surrealist way. Also this method of story telling has been used in world-cinema and has gained high praise, however use it in the streets of the UK and people are repulsed.
I think Nick Love has proved to take what Alan Clarke started many years ago into the new generation and bring something new to the foreground. Unfortunately the things that were covered in Love's previous films gained him a certain audience which are completely naive and ignorant to anything artistic which perhaps has served to be his downfall.
But realistically if you can't stand the heat stay out of the kitchen, therefore if you don't like the methods you see go back to watching Hugh Grant movies with your girlfriend, that way you'll both be satisfied...
