Writer-director (and former actor) Bruce Robinson's semi-autobiographical piece about two London actors near the end of the Sixties, whose careers have thus far gotten nowhere but whose drug-and-alcohol-and-paranoia lifestyles are already in full, woozy swing. The characters and their relationship are believable; the comedy tends to be a bit broad and at the same time indistinct -- or perhaps just the dialects are. The story, to do with their holiday at the run-down country house of a very fat homosexual relative, doesn't amount to much -- unless, that is, you knuckle under to its occasional urgings to be taken as a valedictory to a decade. Richard E. Grant, Paul McGann, Richard Griffiths. (1987) — Duncan Shepherd
