Genre-defying film in which the central character's status and intentions are continually in doubt. A fine achievement from director/co-writer Michael Pearce. Riz Ahmed, a massively impressive actor, adds another masterpiece to hang in his performance gallery. He is given brilliant support from the two young actors, Lucian-River Chauhan and. Aditya Geddada, who play his sons. Octavia Spencer is on hand to provide her unique blend of sensitivity and authority.
The film's major concern is demonstrating the limitations of the conventional models of masculinity, In this, it succeeds completely, thanks to Ahmed's magnificent range as an actor, able to give reality to every emotional twist and turn. Definitely worth seeing, probably more than once.
