- Obey: in Conclusion
The film opens with a group of friends walking down the street, reminiscent of Kidulthood. They’re talking about nothing in particular, sexual exploits they’ve heard about, laughing and joking. On a whim they see a purse left in a car and spot an opportunity, as much about the thrill of it, as the money itself. They dare each other but it’s Leon th...
Then he meets Twiggy, ably played by Sophie Kennedy Clark, at a party. She’s intriguingly wild, beautiful and otherworldly, a glimpse of an alternative to Leon’s claustrophobic existence, giving him a sense of lightness and a possible way out.

Balancing simple scenes like Leon playing with his old Scalextric to convey the numbing hurt of his lost childhood; moments out of time and pace, such as the trippy feel of Twiggy and Leon’s first meeting at...
