Buzz: I’m actually surprised that the film wasn’t included at Venice, as Mullan’s previous film, Magdalene Sisters (02), won the Discovery Award at the Festival, as well as the Golden Lion. To preem in San Sebastian after TIFF, I think we can expect something that is emotionally honest, raw as there are some biographical elements from Mullan’s early life.
The Gist: Set in 1970s Glasgow, this film tells the story of a shy and intelligent young boy who, through a series of circumstances, turns into a NED – a non-educated delinquent. Attending a new school, he becomes increasingly violent and aggressive, all the while searching for a way out.

Sunday September 12 10:30:00 PM SCOTIABANK THEATRE 3
Saturday September 18 12:00:00 PM SCOTIABANK THEATRE 3
