Having spent my formative years in Littlehampton, I knew this story & was excited to see the film. I was puzzled by the locations - of course I realise that not all of Littlehampton would be suitable for filming these days but it was very odd for me to see Tim Spall leave the beach & run to Arundel to report the letters to the police, just over 4 miles away. Western Road & other locations were not in Littlehampton either. I wasn't keen on the constant swearing - too much, too often relied on for the "comedy". The diversity - essential these days for all modern films, just jarred. Having said that, my husband & I agreed that probably Armando Iannuci (after his very successful David Copperfield) would have probably made a better film.
