Ex-offender Ricky (rapper Ashley Walters in an outstanding
debut) has barely re-entered the volatile environment of
his East London council estate when he is reluctantly sucked
into a vicious circle of petty rows, threats, gun violence
and recrimination. The catalyst being. . . a broken wing
mirror. Such mundane realism defines this feature debut
of documentary maker Dibb, who has rejected the usual flashy
and clichéd trappings of the genre to tell a tragic
story of how a family is destroyed when guns enter their
otherwise unexceptional lives.
Dibb has produced a work of superior, committed and responsible
storytelling.
