    Also, since it’s a British Film Festival, whats wrong with their being more British Entries than foreign?

    This is a great film. Its worth checking out the other work of both the Writer, Leilani Holmes, and Director, Ben Jacobson.

    Really nicely made, love the grading, very Schindler’s list-esc. The titles are really well done as well, hope it does well :)

    Love it. Brilliant logic in the story. It kinda makes the title feel like a red herring though (because there is no crime, just a series of exchanges or swaps).
