Sean Ellis turns his 18-minute, Oscar-nominated short into a feature length film. The leads are the same: Glasgow's Sean Biggerstaff as the sensitive youth floored by the loss of his first love, and Emilia Fox as the girl who helps him to his feet again. The original story of an art student's attempt to salve a broken heart through all-night shelf stacking at Sainsbury's was quirky and novel. Though Ellis has managed to retain much of its charm, there's a sense of ideas and characters being stretched further than they can comfortably bear.
