About the Film:
Director: Paddy Considine
UK, 2011, 91 mins
Winner of the Special Jury Prize at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, actor-turned-writer/director Paddy Considine’s stunning debut. Joseph is an unemployed alcoholic who is crippled by self-destructive anger. Hannah is a respectable Christian woman who runs a thrift store. Circumstance brings the pair together, and Hannah appears as Joseph’s guardian angel, offering him kindness and acceptance. As their relationship develops, Hannah’s own secrets are revealed—her husband is violent sadist—and Joseph emerges as her savior.
