Matt Roush

Matt Roush says...

Unresolved conflicts and dark secrets haunt the tortured relationship of “brothers from another lover” Ruben (Richard Gadd) and Niall (Jamie Bell), which reaches a fever pitch of confrontation in the finale of the harrowing psychodrama. Ruben’s years in prison have only heightened his sense of resentment and anger towards the maddeningly self-involved Niall, but their love-hate bond may not survive its final test when Ruben crashes Niall’s wedding.
