Synopsis:
Thirtysomething photographer David (Stephen Mangan) has for some time been happily dating Lisa (Susan Lynch)... but increasingly he's dreaming of Nina (Lara Belmont), a tempestuous free spirit who seems to represent everything his loving, stable girlfriend is not. So what's a man to do? From this all-too-familiar premise first-time writer/director Spector has crafted a funny, sad, and above all discomfortingly honest look at the male gender's seemingly infinite capacity for self-deception - superbly performed by a talented ensemble cast, and directed with admirable economy and confidence.
This well-crafted British independent might, if you're a bloke, have you looking awkwardly at your shoes and wondering how someone got inside your head to find this stuff out....

Something Else - Someone Else review by CP Customer

Spoiler Alert
29/09/2008

Well at seventy seven minutes long you would hope for a short and gripping tale. Alas two episodes of Doctor Who is more gripping and considerably longer. You do ponder what this film is all about and then you realise 'this is it' a simple story of a man trying to find love if only he knew what it was then he could settle. Overall it lacks humour and its pace is like that of old British Rail,slow. It seems its purpose is to show us how bleak life and film making can be. Why is it always raining? Thomas Hardy would love it.
