Sinekatalog’s take

Bill Forsyth's debut comedy follows a gang of unemployed Glasgow teens who plot to steal a stock of stainless steel sinks. Dry, whimsical and quirky, with non-professional actors, it is a modest, charming Scottish gem.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
