It's a good watch, cleverly shot and the guy who plays Roger is really good. I can see why it won some festival awards.

 

[Wayne J]

It's a great film which stands alone aside from pinball. Can highly recommend

 

[Paul]

Even my misses watched this... was a really good film!!

 

[nes4life]

I saw it at the super secret premier last October, I think I was there during filming. The director is a good friend of mine. Deffo worth the watch..
