Production
editDirector 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]
Critical reception
editCath 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]
