This film will pull you in right from the start and takes you on a journey that no one ever wants to be taken on. Dealing with loss of a child is a daunting task for any parent and witnessing our main character Carver having to fight with the regrets of his own and having to protect his life and loved one after things take unexpected turn, promises for a great thrilling watch. I cannot recommend this film high enough. The raw acting of Aidan Gillen and all the other actors is heart stopping and makes you question at times where the film stops and reality begins.I applaud the directing and writing talent of Simon Blake and I sure hope there will be much more coming from him in the future!

'Still' is a captivating and moving film. It makes you care about the characters and you find yourself rooting for a happy ending. It is an emotional roller coaster from the start and you are gripped whilst you piece together the sequence of events that lead to the heartbreaking climax. Aiden Gillen gives a deep, gritty performance as Tom Carver, a father who is losing control following the death of his son and the attack on his girlfriend Christina. His ex-partner Rachel, played brilliantly by Amanda Mealing is trying her best to support him despite his uncharacteristically wayward behaviour. Sonny Green plays Carl brilliantly. He is a character that has you hating him initially before you find yourself wanting him to be saved from his mistakes and turn his life around. Great viewing!

Gripping. Harrowing. Innovative. This film stays with you for days.Director Simon Blake has created an intense, claustrophobic drama, the like of which I haven't seem since the great days of Mike Leigh and Peter Mullen. A powerhouse performance by Aiden Gillen; he captures the essence of a man racked by guilt and loss - his search for redemption is what kept me on the edge of my seat and left me speechless.So refreshing to watch a film as honest as 'Still'; I defy you to see it and remain unchanged.Killer soundtrack. Wonderful stuff.

First to declare a conflict of interest, I have invested in this film because I saw the original play 10 or more years before and left the theatre awestruck (still have the programme). It is 10 times better on the big screen. It was made on a ridiculously small budget but watching it you would never know, it was made by a cast and crew who knew it was a film that, given a chance, would stand out with money given with belief that this is special. It starts claustrophobic and an event of injustice maybe an inevitability as a series of meetings, conversations and events take place but throughout there is the understated complexity of what it is like to be human. Real people making choices, some good, some bad, presented so the audience can understand, empathise, be frustrated and care. It is gripping. The performances all do the film justice, in particular the women and the two male leads (Aiden Gillen excelled). Watch with a few friends, I guarantee you will disagree on why which character did what when they did and you will want to watch it again (just to check you were right, but maybe you weren't?)
