Sorry, we can't find any suggestions at the moment.
Tom is forty. He walks out one day, rather abruptly, on his wife and baby boy and his seemingly happy life. He finds himself living on the streets of London. One night alone in a park he is mistaken for a gay man and is set upon by a gang of violent thugs. In A&E the next day Tom meets Aidan, the happiest, fast-talking individual you are ever likely to meet, the complete opposite of Tom. Too polite, or too weak to ask him to leave him alone Tom tries to get away from this child-like man but with little joy, Aidan sticks to Tom like glue. Tom reluctantly becomes involved in Aidan's life and he quickly realizes that Aidan has problems too. Aidan's 'girlfriend' Linda verbally and physically abuses him on a regular basis. Will Tom overcome his own problems in order to help his new 'friend'? Will Tom ever make it back home - and why exactly did Tom leave home in the first place?
Leave your thoughts about Treacle Jr..
| Observer (UK)Philip FrenchThe film has its moments and Aidan Gillen is impressive as the Hibernian hanger-on from hell, but it's a slight affair. |
| Total FilmEmma DibdinGillen's manic turn is the attention grabber, but Fisher's quietly wounded man-on-the verge is a solid anchor. |
| ViewLondonMatthew TurnerEngaging British drama that's both darkly funny and ultimately moving, thanks to impressive improv-style direction from Jamie Thraves and terrific performances from the two leads. |
| Daily Telegraph (UK)Tim RobeyA thoughtful tale of mid-life crisis and the comfort of strangers, it's gruff, funny and stealthily poignant, with a handmade sincerity you'd struggle to fake. |
| Shadows on the WallRich ClineThraves keeps us engaged with the central relationship even when his filmmaking gets a bit pushy. |
| Daily Mail (UK)Christopher TookeyIts portrait of an unconventional, curiously needy friendship developing in an inhuman environment does hold the attention. |
| London Evening StandardCharlotte O'SullivanTreacle Jr won't win Oscars or swell the bank balances of cast and crew. In other words, it ain't The King's Speech. But I'd choose it over Tom Hooper's film any day, because it shows a London I recognise. |
| Little White LiesEmma SimmondsEntertaining but a touch slight, one thing that's in no doubt is that Treacle Jnr's heart is in the right place; it is, after all, a film named after a kitten. |
| Time OutCath ClarkeThis is low budget and it shows, but it's clear Thraves has still got something to say. |
| Empire MagazineDavid HughesA gritty story that manages to take a refreshing attitude to the lives of the less fortunate. |
