Without doubt one of the funniest low budget comedies I’ve ever seen.
If production values were better I’d have said it was five stars but agree with your rating because of the poor production values in places.
Wicked little film.

I agree. Budget aside, it is a really good film.

I absolutely enjoyed ‘Limelight.’ Of course there are the obvious flaws that are noticeable with low budgets however, the writing is absolutely brilliant! I loved the length of the trailer! I guess it is because I seen the film before the trailer.

The trailer serves as a promo. So what if it is a bit longer than it may need to be? The film is fantastic and if I had the moolah I would totally talk it over with Manley and Robson about freshening it up a bit.

Not saying that the end result of a low budget feature was bad; it is quite the opposite. It is awesome!

I have done a review of this film for Imdb and Mavi’s comment shows just why the world of film is so enthralling. We all have such different opinions.

Having just watched the film again I don’t see the budget as a glaring problem at all.If you watch is as a simple member of the public and not a DOP, you’ll see that it’s one of the finest British dark comedies in years or well up there and the reason I didn’t put too much store on the production values was because I was laughing so hard.

I wonder if Mavi has actually watched the film? The trailer if I’m being critical certainly could be a bit shorter but it left me wanting to see more and was mildly amusing.I certainly can’t see how it’s hard to sit through.Horses for courses I guess.

I’d recommend this micro budget offering to anyone who loves their comedy and who loves their comedy dark.

Excellent.
