For a little known obscure movie, it is one of my all time favourites. My sister recommended it to me many years ago. I have watched it a few times a year ever since. It makes me laugh and cry every time I watch it. I have a total girl crush on Iben, what a doll and so natural in front of the camera. The girl just isn't enough stuff! Bronagh Gallagher as the quirky and lovable Sophie. The hilarious rapport between Ewen Bremner, Gary Lewis, and Simon McBurney..so funny. The Glasgow touch just melts my heart. It's a sad and loving story about two friends...OK maybe a "girl movie" but touching all the same. Two friends falling on hard times after working their arses off on a ship. Trying to get their lives out of the shite but poor Marie is left all alone when Sophie has an accident. Marie's search for a connection with her lost friend is touching. The men she meets along the way are funny, conniving and lovable all at the same time. A hidden gem in my opinion.
