Interesting little documentary about an impoverished seaside town inhabited by social misfits seeking either refuge or redemption from a troubled back story, although it’s curious that it’s “dream-like” quality seems to have somehow become a euphemism for being shot out of focus – suggesting that there’s an inherent bias amongst some critics for certain fare compared to others. I was prepared to let this go though as the footage captured throughout feels incredibly genuine and didn’t at any moment feel staged - that is however until the very end, which includes a flight of fancy set piece involving a fire engine that’s in clear defiance of all the authenticity it’s managed to build in the previous ninety minutes and feels needlessly added on to its already music video-esque nature.
3/5
