Craig Roberts' portrayal of the odd and pretentious teen Oliver Tate will surely never melt the hearts of the audience his creepy involvement with his parents' relationship giving him eerie edge but will capture their thoughts in a state of nostalgia and inspiration. His light-yet-real approach to Joe Dunthorne's novel is simply majestic to watch, his artful touches shining through the lens and his playful British humour echoing through the words.It is both the fantastic performances and Dunthorne's sweet, sincere characters that the film rests upon, like an unmovable block of unbroken laughter, dramatically and comedically they are perfect. A charming tale brought to life by former sitcom-star Richard Ayoade, an unexpected triumph both on paper and behind the camera. To reminisce, to inspire, to harness belief.As previously said, this is not a romance film, nor is it a love story, it's a charming tale of a young boy's brush with its radiant thorns and the repercussions it has within his mentally aged mind.
