Really good coming-of-age film, and it's directed by Richard Ayoade, he of IT Crowd fame. |
Looking forward to this one myself. Ayoade is ridiculously underrated full stop. How the frig he does what he does in The IT crowd without cracking up is beyond me as he is certainly not the buffoon he portrays. He is brilliant in Garth Marenghis Dark Place. Actually he is sublime.
