Some critics have accused Paddy Considine's gritty directorial debut of being misery tourism for the middle classesNatalie Haynes, broadcaster and criticSo, here's my problem with Paddy Considine's directorial debut feature film, Tyrannosaur: I think it has some tremendous acting paired with a script of such unceasing bleakness that, when I reviewed it, like a number of critics, I had no idea who I could recommend it to.It opens with Joseph (played by Peter Mullan) leaving a betting shop and kicking his own dog to death.
Comment on Is Tyrannosaur 'poverty porn'?
