In this very funny… and naughty comedy, a directionless man is swept off his feet when an enigmatic, impossibly handsome biker takes him on as his submissive.
Colin (Harry Melling) is a sweet, shy guy who lives at home with his dad Pete (Douglas Hodge) and mum Peggy (Lesley Sharp), who is always tenderly trying to set Colin up with dates. Colin sings with his dad’s cheesy barbershop quartet every Sunday in the pub which is where he somehow catches the imperious gaze of leather-clad Ray (Alexander Skarsgård). Soon Ray is requiring the thrilled Colin to cook and clean and shop for him, and ride pillion behind Ray when on his bike. Director Harry Lighton finds a delicate balance between funny, disturbing, sweet and sad, and brings out an impressive performance from his two leads, especially Melling as the instantly lovable young chap trying to understand the full spectrum of his identity as a gay man. “It’s basically what Fifty Shades of Grey should have been.” Peter Bradshaw (Guardian).
