RAVE - Tyrannosaur

A movie it's hard to recommend, because it all depends on what you think is entertaining as to whether you'll find this watchable or not.

First of all, it has nothing to do with dinosaurs. Tyrannosaur is the nick-name Peter Mullan has for his ex-wife, but that has hardly anything to do with the main thread, the fact that Peter is a hard man to like.

The story is of 3 violent individuals, Mullan the lone hardcase, Olivia Colman the charity shop worker and Eddie Marsan her husband and rapist.

Because it's primarily about Peter's redemption as an apparently irredeemable thug, the interaction with Olivia and her husband is just bearable. But you have to grit your teeth and bare it as the relationship develops, and this takes a lot of that.

Just the sort of thing you need to see around Valentine's Day, to put a shot of realism into your outlook.
