Angels Share

This award-winning writing and directing team behind The Wind That Shakes The Barley and Looking For Eric reunite for The Angels' Share, the story of four Glasgow youths who take a rather unorthodox path towards the straight and narrow after having barely avoided jail time.

Despite his love for his girlfriend Leonie and their newborn son Luke, headstrong Robbie finds himself unable to pull himself out of a violent and seemingly dead-end life. But while performing community service, he forms a bond with Mo, Albert, and Rhino, fellow miscreants each with their own uniquely offbeat traits that have made them society's outcasts. When a gentle nudge form their kind supervisor reveals Robbie's hidden flair for whiskey tasting, he sees a slimmer of hope and spearheads a daring plan to pull off one last heist for a recently-discovered "lost cask" of legendary Malt Mill whisky. What follows is a hilarious and touching sequence of events that proves the gentlest of hearts can be found in the gruffest of exteriors.

Finding humor even in the grittiness of working-class British life, director Ken Laoch and writer Paul Laverty once again succeed in nimbly combining comedy and drama in The Angels' Share, a thoroughly charming and uplifting film. (2012)
