The most urgent and necessary film to come out of the UK in quite some time. Having made the wonderful 'Better Things', Duane Hopkins had a lot to live up to but with 'Bypass', he has not only matched his debut feature, he has taken things a step further. With a great cast of actors and technically stunning, there is something very hypnotic about this film. Cinema can mean many things, but so few are displaying courage when taking on the responsibility of making a film. Above all, this is a film full of courage. If you choose to see one film this year of all years (particularly with the political events and elections in this country), make sure it's Bypass. Time will show that very few films manage to address issues the way that this poetic and eloquent film so vividly does.
