Treacle Jnr, a new full length film shot in and around East Dulwich by local director Jamie Thraves will be showing as part of the London Film Festival. It stars Aiden Gillen (The Wire), Tom Fisher and Riann Steele.


It's just earned a four star rave review in Time Out: http://www.timeout.com/film/reviews/89100/treacle-jr.html with comparisons to Rainman and The Fisher King.


ED folks will recognise many of the locations - from Goose Green, the Horniman Museum and Peckham Rye included.


Treacle Jnr. is a fantastic piece of work. Funny, tragic and quite unforgettable. See it, love it and tell a friend!

Time Out has given Treacle Jnr a fantastic four star review and made it a Critics Choice:


Treacle Jr (2010)

Time Out

October 20120

****


An electric performance by Aidan Gillen (The Wire) reteaming with director Jamie Thraves for the first time since 2000?s ?The Low Down? is the cornerstone of this blackly funny but ultimately heartrending essay on loneliness and dependence that mixes the tender treatment of dysfunction of 'Rain Man' with the bleak urban redemption of ?The Fisher King?. For reasons known only to himself, architect Tom (Tom Fisher) has abandoned his young family and taken to the streets of an anonymous south London where he forms a halting friendship with Gillen?s rambling half-witted na?f.


As their bond deepens ? thanks in part to a kitten named Treacle Jr ? the story gravitates toward a conclusion that?s as hard won as it is inescapable. Funny, touching and gritty, this coolly rendered observation on need and rejection really is a Brit drama to shout about. Showing in London later this month:

plenty of reviews out - almost all 3 or 4 stars


Peter Bradshaw's review in the Guardian today was 3 stars but read like 4 - but I think that's about right


I love the film, it's one of my favourite of the last few years and I will be going to the cinema (and can't wait) , but it's a teeeny tiny thing, made for pennies. 4 and 5 stars across the board would crush it!

      Just had this team/ company demolish a front wall, dig out the trees, build a wall, a place for the bins, landscape the front with stones and the liked and lay a new path and porch with a bull nose stone step. We are very happy with their work, diligent and attentive to detail, (it’s always difficult to know until things have bedded in for a few years but) good quality. Excellent communication. They’re very local, they know the East Dulwich clay, that the buildings and grounds are essentially mobile, and very dependant on the temperature and moisture in the ground. I think the key things for us - busy, always in and out, young kids etc - were we felt perfectly safe with them here, I don’t think they mucked about with pricing or quality once we were set (bits and bobs come up and were effortlessly sorted) and all in all, over the time it took for them to get the right quality (for them! the finish is good) we quite liked the team. We’d have them back in a moment, and are very happy to recommend them.

      Sorry to hear that this is happening to your son. East Dulwich Grove doesn't fall into Dulwich Hill ward, it is split depending on the postcode it would either be Goose Green SNT or Dulwich Village SNT, you may check which one using the link below. On the website would also be the team and any events being held in the future. If it is an emergency please call 999 or non-emergencies 101. https://www.met.police.uk/area/your-area/

      'Foodbank' street collector outside M&S

      By DuncanW · Posted

      CIC is not the appropriate vehicle for a fund-raising intermediary.  CICs are for businesses that typically sell something or provide a service for social good  but are not for profit; a community cafe or arts centre, or an IT skills training centre for  unemployed people. it costs £65 to set up  a CIC, the scrutiny is less than for a full charity, and the administrative burden is pretty low if you don’t file accounts. It’s hard to prove a negative, but if you were trying to build a credible, positive case for giving money to street collectors for CityHive CIC, that might be a little harder still… tho thank you, Zahid for joining the Forum to give it a go.
