Gloves Off is a very funny, extremely well cast and superbly acted drama, which has viewers on an emotional rollercoaster as it alternates seamlessly from touching hearts to hearty laughter. To say that the cast does a superb job speaks to the vision of casting director Shakyra Dowling who found relatively unknown comedic prodigies such as Kab Silva, Gary Cargill and Greg Orvis and combined them with familiar favourites such as Alan Ford, Ricky Tomlinson and Paul Barber Denise Van Outen and Adam Fogerty to create a fantastic ensemble. Cinematographer Kyle Heslop's eye captures the otherwise minute details to paint a canvas with a broad range of themes and interconnecting backstories. But Auteur Steven Nesbit wins the grand prize as he outdoes himself--and specifically his tragically underrated feature North V. South. And one can only hope there will be sequels, prequels and/or TV series adaptations.
