After working as assistant editor on a number of Ridley Scott films, Andrew Haigh moved on to directing features with 2009’s Greek Pete, followed by this award-winning gay romance. After attending a party held by some straight friends in the English Midlands, Russell (Tom Cullen) heads out to a club and goes home with Glen (Chris New). It seems like your typical “Wham, bam, thank you man” scenario until Glen pulls a tape recorder on Russell and asks him to narrate the past night’s events. Their honest dialogue transforms a one-night stand into something much more. “Perfectly realized…A bracing, present-tense exploration of sex, intimacy, and love (New York Times). Winner of British Independent Film Awards for Best Achievement in Production and Most Promising Newcomer, a London Film Critics Circle Award for Breakthrough British Filmmaker, and a SXSW Competition Award for Emerging Visions.
