NEDS (2011)
PETER MULLAN
Plot
'Neds' (Non Educated Delinquents) is the story of a young mans journey from prize-winning Glaswegian schoolboy to knife-wielding sociopath. Struggling against the low expectations of those around him, John McGill changes from victim to avenger, scholar to scum. When he attempts to change back again, his new reality and recent past make conformity near impossible and violent self-determination near inevitable. From the director of The Magdalene Sisters, 'Neds' is another powerful and bleakly atmospheric drama.
