Far from the masters of the genre.
is not the first time or anything, that there is a cinematic approach to the world of adolescence from a multitude of prisms. The more effective and less risky when making a movie is undoubtedly the conflicts that are created around this age, problems that occur and especially the search for an identity at a particular point has been lost or is blurred. In this sense we can speak from its more commercial with "Dangerous Minds" with Michelle Pfeiffer bold, even cruder films facing the problem from a deeper perspective, as the extraordinary "City of God."
"No educated criminals" is the basis on which this drama focuses juvenile taproot taken as the metamorphosis that occurs in almost a young mind to become pure and virginal in an adolescent delinquent studied as decisive influences the behavior of this new family foundations, cultural and social.
Actor and director Peter Mullan facing a project that it is not at all indifferent and has lived in her own skin though so probably softer. She does a lot of will, but with little success in many moments that seem fundamental. The film adds nothing to the subgenus, it enjoys relative ease and in this respect is nice, but not get the point of emotion or empathy you need to make more far-reaching runs through channels. There is one more in the strictly negative sense, but a movie that by not showing nothing new product is as pure fun to be able to compare and classify with others in the same style. All
both dramatic and emotional force is provided by the novel and non-professional actor Conor McCarron. Its concrete gesture, his ability to deal face to face to the camera without any complex, and especially his expression in apparently conventional gestures acquire a degree of realism that make it the real stronghold in which the film is held. In this sense, it is inevitable comparison with that debut of Thomas Turgoose who is also an amateur actor got an excellent job "This is England" and more later on "Somer's Town", both English Shane Meadows film with a certain similarity in the subgenus treaty, though with more success. Clearly Mullan
drinks from various sources about social film concerns, ranging from Einstein to Danny Boyle, obviously going by the Italian neorealism, and especially the real ruler of gender Ken Loach. With the latter appeared in films such as "Riff Raff" and "My Name Is Joe" (film won him the Best Actor at the Cannes Film Festival 98). De Loach absorbs almost everything. And some aspects are addressed with sensitivity, but others is a way too superficial. In this respect, is undoubtedly Andra Arnold, with films like "Red Road" or "Fish Tank" that has best understood the essence of this film and the one that has come to an underworld complex and intense, dark but vital.
"Neds" suffers from a deeper realism, has too many surreal moments that far to bring something interesting to ridicule the character, and still has a better approach to urban reality and the family situation so that the puzzle will be forming smoothly and without abrupt prospects of a difficult situation adaptable to the environment created.
A film that can be recommended, entertaining, but that does not rise to the level of essential and it is far from the masters of the genre.
