A film to be watched peering through your fingers with your hands covering your face - it is embarrassingly familiar. Through mere facial expressions and tipsy banter, we see a world of one-upmanship, pride and jealousy. Genuinely original filmmaking.

Offering its viewers a ‘ringside’ seat at one of the most uncomfortable dinner dinner parties ever... A film firmly grounded in uncomfortable comedy. Sucks you in with how real it feels.

We easily follow the director's invitation too look through a magnifying glass onto modern society. Today, man's role seems to be blurred and evokes situations of discordance and tension. The director masterfully combines ancient three-act drama with innovative film language. His statement encourages us to reflect our own position and overcome obsolete conventions. great actors, brilliant camera work, perfect timing and a fine sense of British humour.
