“I live in the UK in a low income area and felt that the film did a good job of depicting the ignorance of the young men and women in places like this. I personally didnu0026#39;t enjoy the film because the characters are not likable for me.nI saw them make obvious mistakes and go down the wrong paths treat others poorly and ruin there lives. It plays out more like a documentary although its obviously not and Iu0026#39;m really not sure if there even was a lesson or a message in the film which is why I say its more like a documentary. Its a story that plays out time and time again at the end I was just angry at the whole situation and everyone involved.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt does what it sets out to accomplish but much like the main character it never set out to accomplish much.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAs a Pseudo Documentary it succeeds but as a movie it lacks the strong and interesting characters necessary to make you emotionally invest.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHipsters will love its u0026quot;Rawu0026quot; Feel but once you get past that there is not much too it.”
