Her mother Janet knows the truth but only offers sympathy while Val's brother Billy is a drug addict alternately tolerated and reviled by Ray. But what could be a simplistic portrait of a dysfunctional family is leavened by flashes of humour, familial love and even respect, making it all the more powerful and believable.
Director: Gary Oldman
Starring: Ray Winstone, Kathy Burke, Charlie Creed-Miles, Laila Morse, Edna Doré, Chrissie Cotterill
