Theatrical report

Dirty pretty things is a sweet, dark film about illegal immigrants, refugees, poverty, desperation, fear and terror. It's like living the children overboard scandal without the self-serving politicians. Chewitill Ejiofor and Audrey Tautou are excellent in this very grown up film.

Keep one hand on your kidneys.
