Somers Town

Thomas Turgoose (star of This Is England) plays joint protagonist with Polish actor Piotr Jagiello, who plays a Polish immigrant in England who Thomas Turgoose's character befriends. They both are outcasts and get up to some nefarious deeds (e.g. stealing). 

It's a movie that just focuses on the characters, seeing where they go. There's not a lot of plot, but it is raw and gritty, complemented perfectly with the black and white cinematography (only changed to colour for the ending, which I liked). 

It's a very short film, a bit over an hour and it doesn't overstay it's welcome. 

If you like cinema realism, then I think you'll definitely enjoy this film. I really liked it and recommend it.
