Reviews for Lives of the Saints
The direction from Rankin and Chris Cottam is very uncertain; there is lots and lots of shouty acting and a cringeworthy denouement worthy of Viz comic's legendary cockney villain Big Vern.
Bizarre, involving and highly original, this leftfield gangland fable adds up to a strange, surprisingly moving experience.
