Review of Shank

Shank (2009)
10/10
awesome debut
30 December 2009
An awesome debut from writer/director team behind SHANK. A shockingly challenging and provocative film....as impactful in it's content as Beautiful Thing was in it's day. This film pushes boundaries and squares up to the realities of being gay in the 21st Century. It says as much about what has changed as it does about what hasn't and it's powerful multi-layered and clever script reaches out to a far wider audience than just the gay community. This really does have a socio/economic/realist vein to it that pulses with an energy that will grab your attention and shock your senses whilst at the same time refreshing you with the delights and the beauty of the first flush of love.

Excellent award winning film. Under valued by the star ratings that it's received - this is a deserving 8 to 10 out of 10 film in my book.
