Production[edit]
Director Jack Spring and Writer Paul Stephenson began working on the project in 2018, with Spring's family hailing from Grimsby and Stephenson being raised in nearby Hull. Spring said in 2022 'I wanted to tell the story of the town's real identity, rather than just the lazy tropes of 'it's not a nice area' or 'it's got nothing.[1]
The film began shooting in September 2021 in Grimsby.[2]
Critical reception[edit]
Cath Clarke writing for The Guardian claims that although James Burrows brings "cheeky-chappie warmth" to the character Curly, the film is "charmless at times, and difficult to warm to" further noting that "sense of what’s at stake" is missing.[3]
Release[edit]
The film was released in select cinemas and on digital platforms in the UK on 25 November 2022.[4] The film was released in the US and Canada on 21 February 2023.[5] The Film was released on Netflix in the UK on 25 February 2023.[6]
