Although the low budget was a bit too obvious to me, I think this film tells a nice story that feels real and authentic.
It was interesting to see England through a Polish director's lens, this film reminded me of the few Russian films I’ve seen. Although your average British citizen is aware of how dystopian Britain can be, Last Resort really puts it into perspective. This especially includes the scene where Tanya and Artyom hide from the cameras surveyed by the immigration office, which heavily reminded me of 1984 and Winston and Julia’s avoidance of the tele-screens.
I liked Tanya and Alfie’s relationship which was convincing, as well as tender and soft compared to the hardship of the rest of the story. It’s one of those nice relationships between two poor people making the best of their brutal lives.
