'Treacle Jr.' (2010) - Jamie Thraves.

I am a great admirer of Jamie Thraves's rather unique approach to drama, and his delightfully quirky, but far from syrupy character study 'Treacle Jr.' proved to be yet another earnest, vividly realised, socially conscious, idiosyncratic celluloid wonder from this talented auteur of homespun, left-of-centre drama. Sad-faced six-footer Tom (Tom Fisher) for reasons obscure suddenly leaves his wife and young child, exchanging his cosy, middle-class suburban life for the altogether more precarious milieu of South London where a violent altercation with a tree swiftly sends an increasingly dazed Tom into a busy A&E, and he is fractiously drawn into the histrionic jibber-jabbering vortex of the appealingly unfiltered, effusively enigmatic Aiden (Aiden Gillen), whose singular personality traits and consistently chaotic personal life is further complicated by the purchase of the adorable kitten Treacle Jr. Dynamic film-maker Jamie Thraves's heart-swellingly edifying 'Treacle Jr.' is an exhilarating tonic that deftly blends gritty, melancholic drama, and lustrous comedy to truly magical effect! And if the scrumptious, honey-centred ending doesn't hit you right in the Gulliver, then it's pretty much all over, mayte!
