Not love it mind it, but as a movie with its subject matter I found it very credible. The script does get overly-vulgar sometimes, the editing could have slowed down a bit as some transitions from one scene to another felt choppy and rushed and some of the tone shifts particularly towards the end take a while to settle. However, whether with or without McGregor the film is compelling enough, with some genuinely funny scenes such as Steven breaks into jail after just being released. Ewan McGregor is nicely understated and quiet as the heart of the film, and while Jim Carrey does do his in-your-face style of acting he does show some subtlety and poignancy too. The two lead characters are written creditably and their relationship is surprisingly tender in how it's shown. The film aside from choppy transitions does look good as well. All in all, I liked it though I can understand where people are coming from when they say they don't. 7/10 Bethany Cox
