About
"Comedy built from mutual entrapment and resentment"
A middle-aged rag-and-bone man dreams of escaping his cramped, cluttered London home and his manipulative, ageing father, who runs the family junk business with him. Every attempt at independence, romance, or self-improvement gets quietly sabotaged. It's a two-hander built almost entirely on bitter, funny, sometimes cruel father-son sparring, filmed on a single grubby set. The comedy is slow-burning and character-driven rather than joke-a-minute, with real melancholy underneath the bickering. It rewards patience and an appetite for tragicomedy over broad slapstick.
the performances, which turn petty domestic warfare into something genuinely moving and darkly funny.
you want fast-paced jokes rather than slow, melancholy character comedy.
