Review: Balanced and compassionate - What Richard Did

Synopsis: Richard is a popular teen, plays for the local rugby club, gets on well with his parents and is reasonably successful with girls. In fact he has everything going for him until the morning after the all to common drunken brawl the night before.

Stan's thoughts: A naturalistic and compassionate portrayal of guilt. Nicely set up and balanced so as to avoid feeling contrived helped by a wonderful central performance from Jack Reynor (hope to see more of him in the future). Simple story telling that is emotionally rich, can't help but make you think.

I have an expensive film habit and go to the cinema at least once a week.
