Well I'm not really a great fan of Clark's, Vince, Kids for example was so depressing. They might be films "with a message" but they don't do anything for me. Ken Park, like Kids, has the usual assortment of unlikeable characters. Difficult to care one way or the other what happens to them.
Still Ken Park is not the type of cheap exploitation film that I have had to watch so much of recently. It's actually a reasonably well made film albeit not a pleasant one. Strangely I don't think it has been released in the US either where it no doubt would get an NC17.
Yes it would be a fairly problematic title for the BBFC, that sequence is not something they have ever passed before. Guess we will just have to see.
Yes there is no reason why Mother's Day should be cut or rejected today. They passed Wrong Way with 20m of cuts but were not willing to pass Mother's Day at all that year. Bizarre.
