Gardens with Red Roses (2009)

Debbie and Dominic are shacked up in Debbie’s grandfather’s cramped council house. Their dream of owning a home of their own drives them, so they do everything they can to realise that dream.
The film effectively highlights the different challenges that daily life presents those with youth and those who've moved into old age. There’s more edge to the story that I won’t reveal, and I fear that by doing so the film will miss its target audience, but that part of it shouldn't be ignored.
To date, it's Richard Oliver’s only entry on IMDB. Hopefully someone will give him lots of condition-free money to make more great works like it.

3½ values out of 5
