There's an awful lot of likability and charm in this debut feature from British film-maker Giles Borg: a downbeat, neo-Britpoppy tale from north London about a nerdy guitarist called Stevie (Ian Bonar) yearning for a record deal, but also deeply and hopelessly in love with the bassist Emily (Lyndsey Marshal), who doesn't really want to be in the band at all. It's a bit uncertain here and there, but the scene where Stevie and Emily have a fleeting, uncomfortable kiss is heartbreakingly tremendous. The feature, shot by Mike Eley, looks great too. • This article was amended on 9 March 2010. The original referred to Ken Eley. This has been corrected to Mike Eley.
