No cockney gangsters, No Hugh Grant. Nuff said.
The words “gritty”, “British” and “drama” usually and rightfully condemn a film to the Guy “Windsor” Ritchie hall of excrement . Having seen these terms applied to Oscar contenders like “Goodbye Charlie Bright”, “Rancid aluminium” and “Love, honour and obey”, I wasn’t really expecting much from this film. Saying I was wrong would be a huge understatement. “Nil by Mouth” is an awesome achievement. A razor sharp dissection of a working class south London family that delivers the required punch on so many levels that you need to have a wash after watching it. It covers a vast spectrum of emotions that will see you (especially if you’re British) laugh, cry and more often than not, hold your head in despair at witnessing an all too true account of what it is to be at the bottom of the British class system. It is unflinchingly brutal and somewhat depressing, yet at the same time shows how with guts, determination and a healthy sense of humour, people can survive even the most bleak and hopeless of situations. Kathy Burke is outstanding and Ray Winstone is dependable as ever, but Gary Oldman’s screenplay and direction are the stars of the show. This script could stand on it’s own as a fine social commentary on par, and not dissimilar from John King’s “The Football Factory” and “Headhunters”. Thankfully Oldman has also realised that in terms of direction, “gritty” does not have to mean the static, cold and quite frankly boring as hell style that so many British films have. The camera moves with a documentary feel energy, yet the slick cinematography keeps it from ever looking cheap. Quite simply one of the greatest British films of all time. 9/10
Gary oldman gives you a dark slice of British life
Gary oldman gives you a dark slice of British life, where hard drinking Ray Winstone comes home and beats his wife Kathy Burke and her brother tries to score heroin there. Winstone gets two great monologs, and the dialog with F-this and F-that is often full of profanes, and people are called the C-word. So if you can stand up shooting rapid profanity and violent domestic abuse and heroin then through this movie you can do it.
