This little film doesn't set it's sights too high but fulfills it's brief perfectly. Execution is nigh on faultless. Great acting, particularly from James Kristian and Kimberly Wintle. There's one conversation between the girls that evokes the simmering enmities of a million shared houses in all it's painful reality. All the observations from college life ring true, and of course there is identification with the core dilemma. There's also a good role for tea which any quality British film should have. Certainly worth a watch and a larger distribution. Well done to all concerned and I look forward to your future work

Simple concept, well executed.

It's a scenario most of us who've been students can empathise with. You've an essay due tomorrow and you've no choice but to pull an all-nighter, but there's far more in this simple, four actor comedy, that brought back memories of my student days. The endlessly creative ways to procrastinate. The moral dilemma to cheat or not to cheat. The awkward conversations with difficult housemates. The dreaded late night 'heart-to'hearts'. But far from being just a nostalgia trip, this film has heart, humour and warmth. A must for all students/ex-students. (P.S. will be especially enjoyed by anyone, like me, who wore out countless 'Z' and 'X' keys on 80s arcade style games!)
