This second feature from Boyfriends' directors Neil Hunter and Tom Hunsinger explores intertwined relationships in a sleepy seaside resort in the U.K., broken up into three segments. The film centers around the funeral of Stuart (David Coffey), the gay partner of Nick (Tom Hollander), who owns a local restaurant. Stuart's brother-in-law Dan (Bill Nighy) is a depressive farmer who lives with his wife Judy (Ellie Haddington) and becomes smitten with a French woman named Corinne (Clementine Celarie), a local florist. As Dan and Judy attempt to settle Stuart's estate, Dan gives into having an affair with Corinne -- but then ends up cheating on her with an amorous stranger (Sally Hurst). Meanwhile, Nick offers Stuart's straight best friend Tim (Douglas Henshall) a place to stay. Nick is furthermore disrupted by the advances of Charlie (Sukie Smith), a free-spirited woman who takes a liking to Nick and introduces him to hetero intercourse. The final section of the film centers on Tim who, after being abroad for several years, has a dalliance with shop owner Leah (Josephine Butler), who happens to be the former girlfriend of his adopted brother David (Stuart Laing).

    Feelings run deep in this story of one's lover passing. The difficulty of going on with ones life, and the friends who try to help with the process. This movie actually takes in more than one persons life and feelings but at least three other individuals with probems of their own.. The relationship of the character who's lover has died was a Gay relationship. Personalities were very well portrayed of the different characters, and I was able to feel the pains and joys of these people in this small English communiity...M

    I liked this movie. I enjoy movies made in England or about English people. The actor Bill Nighy attracted me to watch this movie, I find him to be talented and unique in his mannerisms. I first saw him in "Love Actually", a romantic comedy and then on the Larry King show (YouTube) where I learned he has been an accomplished Broadway actor for many years. This movie appears to show normal people with all their weaknesses as well as their good qualities. The raw sexual conduct could be omitted without hurting the movie. The characters in this movie would not be confused for "beautiful people" with perhaps one or two exceptions. These are common lower middle class or middle class English people who do the best they can to cope with difficult and ackward circumstances. This movie provides a glimpse of English life along the sea shore and it is worth the watch but for adults only.

    I usually like English movies but this was one of the worst I have seen. The story had good posibilities but was done in such a fragmented way it could not answer my two most imporant questions about any movie; was it entertaining--no, and could these people be real--maybe. But I thought it was very poorly presented. The acting was good but the directing was very poor.
