Film review: Dom Hemingway (15, 94mins)

Dom Hemingway is released from prison, and careers through beating, drink and drug-fuelled sessions, jaunts to the south of France, and tries to reconcile with his estranged daughter.

The problem with Richard Shepard’s film is that it hasn’t quite worked out what it wants to be: is it a comedy, a gritty London gangster thriller or the study of a tragic character?

It seems the writer-director has not made up his mind about Dom either. He’s both incredibly eloquent and jaw-droppingly stupid, which simply does not tally up.

Drama/Comedy. Jude Law, Richard E Grant, Demian Bichir, Emilia Clarke, Jumayn Hunter. Director: Richard Shepard.
