Starred Up

"Starred Up" - England's answer to Jacques Audiard's "A Prophet" - is a descent into the nightmarish world of a British prison, where survival is all about balance and boundaries and social rehabilitation is nothing but a pipe dream.

"Starred Up" - England's answer to Jacques Audiard's "A Prophet" - is a descent into the nightmarish world of a British prison, where survival is all about balance and boundaries and social rehabilitation is nothing but a pipe dream.

That's where high-risk offender Eric will reunite with his absentee father and meet the anger-management counselor who will try to disrupt his destructive course.

A sensational Jack O'Connell interprets the role with body and soul, while more or less recognizable faces build a community of damaged men who resort to violence as their mother tongue. Ch.L.
