This tragicomic tale of the odd-couple friendship that develops between two severely disabled young men — one shy and conservative, the other outgoing and outrageous — could have ended up as a thoroughly mawkish affair. James McAvoy (best known for TV dramas State of Play and Shameless) plays the rebellious patient with muscular dystrophy, whose arrival at a sleepy residential care home is a tonic for diffident youth Steven Robertson (whose character has cerebral palsy). But East Is East director Damien O'Donnell has come up with a worthwhile comedy drama that may not necessarily tread any new ground, but at least goes over old territory with some skill and style. O'Donnell's non-contentious film pushes all the right buttons in its flagrant bid to get you backing the pair in their uplifting fight for freedom from a well-meaning but inflexible care system. DA
