If you appreciated British social realist drama, Paul Holbrooke is one to watch. He's currently making shorts of such great quality it's only a matter of time before he finally get the recognition he deserves!

His latest film is 'Boys Like You'.

I can't wait to see this movie, thank you.

British social realist drama

Does this mean films featuring yobs, gangsters and hard men, mainly set in and around pubs and council estates?

Actually, BOYS LIKE YOU isn't about "yobs and gangsters." It's a thoughtful drama about human connection and the impact of our actions. Not all stories set in council estates are about crime.

Exactly, some are about single parenthood as well

”A depressed housewife seek out a troubled young man from her past with disastrous consequences”

Seen a few films that work off that premise tbf

I can't decide which is the better trailer, this one or the new Alien one. Alien doesn't have Mick from Brookside in it granted.
